From Jan Hope, Vice President Commercial Real Estate, National Association of REALTORS

I've read the messages received from our committee members -- friends of Steve. He will be missed.

From the moment I got the message until this second, he has remained on my mind. If I wasn't thinking about him awake, he was entering my dreams. I'm so very sad, completely stunned and confused, and kinda angry.

I've known Steve and Shelly since 1990 when I got into the auction area for NAR. They were always giving of their time and talents. Steve was so interesting. I learned something new with each conversation we had. Always smiling. Always ready with a story. Always willing to help people connect. I was looking forward to our year together and the things we could accomplish.

For those of you who got to interact with him on a very regular basis, I'm sure the void will be huge. Take solace in the fact that many of us mourn his absence and will always miss him.

Thanks for listening, Jan
