[Leica] We're losing a LUG member

[Lluis Ripoll]

I follow with much pain the rapid illness that in a short time is finishing the life of my dear friend, the last news make me suppose that soon his suffering will end. Steve a great person, friend, doctor and photographer with whom we have shared many off-line conversations, his daughter Rachelle and family visited Barcelona, years later, in May 2016 Steve and Tara came to Barcelona, we spent some unforgettable days. I am very sad for his loss and my thoughts are with him.

I totally agree with the recommendation of the book that Brian mentions.

Here I leave you a picture and the next 5 pictures as a reminder of the happy days in Barcelona.

> Hello fellow LUGers,
> 
> Many of you know Steve Barbour, a long time member of the LUG. You probably remember his wonder series of photos of children being treated by Steve when he was in practice down in Phoenix.
> 
> Sadly, Steve is suffering from terminal Parkinson’s Disease which has progressed with extreme rapidity. He is currently in hospice at the University Retirement Community here in Davis, CA.
> 
> Steve isn’t really in contact with the world now. He’s slipping away quickly. But his family wanted the LUG to know that you might remember him in his final hours.
> 
> I’m sure many have fond memories of Steve, his passion for photography, for France, for his dogs, for his patients. He became a good friend. I’ll miss him.
> 
> In the meantime, do remember Steve in whatever fashion you might wish.
