We shared a lot, on list, off list, and in real life. He has always loved France and studied in Paris at some point. They came over in 2016, and I had the pleasure of meeting him in Paris. And then again last April, they spent a few days at our place, where we really had fun and a feeling of having known each other. Here are four snaps I took on these occasions. The world is about to lose "un sacr? mec". Kudos for your life Steve, mon ami. A tribute to the Paris lover http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Phileica/Les+Gens/Steve-2190.jpg.html Love the witty humorous spark in his eye here http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Phileica/Les+Gens/Steve-8085.jpg.html Taking a rest, but still holding a camera ready :-) http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Phileica/Les+Gens/Steve-8121.jpg.html Waving us all goodbye, alas. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Phileica/Les+Gens/Steve-2244.jpg.html Philippe in grief > Le 10 janv. 2020 ? 23:41, Adam Bridge via LUG <lug at leica-users.org> a > ?crit : > > Hello fellow LUGers, > > Many of you know Steve Barbour, a long time member of the LUG.
