I religiously read Steve in the Phx until they axed him and even saw him at a couple of events over my 50+ years there. He was a REAL stand up guy and will be greatly missed.
What a treasure trove of memories to cherish and a beautiful tribute to friendship. So very sorry for your loss; thank you for sharing those moments with us. I loved his Meacham cartoons as well.
This is beautiful, thank you Dave. He loved you fiercely too 💙
I’m so sorry for your loss of a wonderful friend and colleague. What a tribute!
(Something in my eye…). Oh, to be loved and admired like you loved him…. And he, you. (Sniff….) 🙏🏼
Brother, we were lucky cusses. Lucky.
A special piece for a special person by a special guy.
Such a thoughtful tribute - thank you! I grew up with Benson - such a bright star!
Beautiful, just beautiful. I did not know him, of course, but this made me wish I had.
How about a hole in a heart-shaped Arizona state flag. Beautiful, Fitz.
Yes, my friend, yes. Man o man, the rise and fall of print we witnessed in our lifetime. How old are you? 87? Abrazos, D

Steve is smiling down on you…
Amazing how the words of friendship, love and writing you had: and shared with us.
A friend indeed.

Thank you David for this tribute. We all mourn.
Thank you for this! I love all the insights from different people about this remarkable man.
What a beautiful tribute. I remember his work. Now I’m gonna look him up again.
Written as only you could, Dave. I'm sorry for your void.
