DavidV Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) This is very sad. While he was active here, Stephen was our most prolific poster, and his thoughts were always a valuable contribution to the discussion.

Thales Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I posted to Stephen's forum, but I just want to say here that I loved that guy and I'll miss him greatly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidOdden Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 This is really sad, and a great loss to Objectivism. It was thanks to Stephen and Betsy that I learned of OO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circulogi Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Wow I read that thread. Terrible. My Dad had a very similar experience last October only he died of a blood clot in one of his stints. I know from experience of the rollercoaster ride of emotion the family must have gone through. All I can say is my thoughts are with the famliy and if they need anything to let me know.

Scott_Connery Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I don't suppose there is any chance this is just an April fool's joke? I know there isn't, but Mr. Speicher was always a great thinker, and he will be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeatherFall Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 It seemed out of character for the Speichers to joke about something this serious. I shouldn't have let the timing of this event interfere with its gravity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovenstein Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Sadly, this is not a joke. It just sucks. In my limited interactions with Stephen via e-mail, and the many posts of his I've read, he seemed like a wonderful man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaVache Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I enjoyed his posts a lot and would like to offer my condolences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
