Broken Wand Steve Walker
Message
from Kent Blackmore
With
the saddest of hearts I have to let you know that Steve
Walker has passed away, about 6pm on December 11.
After
attending the Christmas meeting of the Geniis Magical Society,
Steve was taken suddenly ill and was hospitalised just for
the last couple of days, in no condition to receive visitors.
I
know that this will be a shock to many of you - It is understood
that an existing condition caused this sudden lapse; Steve
had become much more tired and quiet over the last year
or so.
Steve's friendships with so many, and his standing among
the magic community in Sydney, Australia, and worldwide
cannot be overstated. His loss is an immense blow to all
who knew him. We will, without doubt, see many tributes
to his talents, knowledge, sense of humour and camaraderie
as this sad news becomes known. Tonight there is no time
to do more than grieve his loss.
Funeral
details will be announced when known; possibly next week,
but you could stay in touch with Peter Rodgers (peterrodgers@hotkey.net.au)
for details. Ann has requested no flowers, please.
