RIP Steve Pryor
To the many folks who knew Steve through this forum and the Paltalk chat room he maintained for years:

We got a call from Tammy Pryor a few minutes ago. She told us that Steve passed away early this morning from recent complications to his lengthy illness. He had been hospitalized the past ten days.

Rest in peace, Steve. You faced your challenges bravely.

Man, what a bad feeling this news brings. Steve has been a friend of mine, and a customer of ours for 8 years. He told me he had been sick, but never let on that it was life threatening!

Prayers sent!!!!!

Godspeed, Steve!

Alex

Was sad to hear about this a few minutes ago. I enjoyed the time I spent talking with Steve on Pal Talk, my thoughts go out to his family.

Mike,
Thanks for letting us know this sad news. I will remember the week-end we were all together at Bowies, so long ago now, and had such a great time.
RIP Steve
Our prayers for Tammy and the kids.
