Steve Calabrese, R.I.P.Good-bye to Steve Calabrese of Gilbert, a good man and a great activist for liberty. Steve was taken away from us on Friday night, September 23, at the age of 41, leaving a wife and two children. That's way too young, and we are all greatly saddened.

Steve's memorial service will be held on Monday, October 3 at the LDS church at 1010 S. Recker Road in Gilbert (85233). On Recker, north of Guadalupe, between Higley and Power. The viewing will be from 9 to 10 am, and the service will begin at 10:30 am. Please check Steve's FB page for details and updates:
