SWC is gone

[Eric15]

Right now in Heaven, SWC is laughing that Brent Axe referred to OrangeFoo as "OrangeWoo" in the article.

More I read, sadder I get. I'm really going to miss his posts. I hope he knew how much he meant to this place.

 

[CuseTroop]

Ugh this sucks. RIP SWC, I wish I had responded to more of your posts.

 

[Offthedome]

I've only been a regular here for a little over a year now, but that is enough to know that SWC made me a more informed fan. Thank you for that, SWC.

Would love to read the Axe piece but don't subscribe to the paper as I live in AZ. If I lived in the Syracuse area, I would. But I subscribe to so many other papers.

Thanks. I missed that. Also someone sent it to me in a private message.

I'm praying fo his family right now. This is a major loss for the board and though I've never met him, I feel like I have. Just as I feel like I've met many of you. I will miss him.

That's so funny, that's when I discovered the board also. I would give anything to see a screen shot of what the board looked like then.

10 months ago, SWC and I had a big back and forth about the Monty Hall problem with the 3 doors. It was a nice back and forth conversation with him, not totally successful, but it was nice, none-the-less.

This is very sad news. Like many on here, I never met Steve, but I have thoroughly enjoyed his countless posts. He had such a knowledge of all things SU and we are all so blessed that he shared that live and knowledge with us.
I hope his passing was merely moving into a pain-free existence in an alternate universe with daily coach's shows and SU wins numerous championships.
Thank you, Steve. You are intensely missed on this forum already.

From the Axe article:
Chappell got to hold court with Boeheim one last time, as the former Orange basketball coach called Chappell while he was under hospice care at Francis House in Syracuse.

Very cool of JB to make that call. Also if someone could post the obit I'd like to contribute to the charity / cause Steve chose, if any.

RIP Steve.
We couldn't have anyone better on the "other side" pulling for the Orange.
Thanks for everything SWC. You had an impact on many people's lives that you never met.

We've got Steve to advocate for some heavenly Orange luck to the Big Guy in the Sky or St. Peter or whomever is in charge of answering sport-related prayers.

RIP

I’ve been thinking about Steve a good bit and prefer celebration over mourning. Steve lived through a great era of SU basketball and was the active analyst and reporter for which we honor him. He asked JB a lot of questions. He was a kid during SU’s glory days in football and relayed a lot of stories from his lexicon of great SU sports moments. I wish I knew him better, but am happy to see him as a legend, too. His body of work is impressive. Kudos, Steve…

PS: A library of historic SU analysis & Video could be a good thing to dedicate to Steve. He was a significant contributor.

RIP Steve. You were one of a kind.

Looks like it was fixed in the article now.

Phew, I don't need to change a handle I've used for 25+ years now. Thanks to whomever forwarded on my post.

You are welcome. I hope that I wasn't the cause of the error.

Brent also gave a 10 minute tribute to Steve on his podcast.

Good job by Brent. I know Steve liked him and always defended him on the board.
