Our tenure here is short. Steve made the most of it. His passing is both sad and a celebration of a life now gone but a life more lived than some. Kayaking unites us all, a shared dreamtime close to the surface of the water, the song of the surf, the melodies of the sea, the splash and mist of rainbow-blows from whales in the evening sun, the dip of the paddle measuring the cadence of that tenure. Goodbye to our friend. Doug Snip "With the addition of so many new kayak acquaintances, it is inevitable that with all the joy must come some sorrow. Our club, California Kayak Friends just lost our President, Steve Holtzman to cancer. Steve had posted here to Paddlewise over the years and all that know him feel his loss. He brought to every paddle a boundless sense of energy and enthusiasm. He touched so many people that he paddled with and gave often of himself to the sport and will be truly missed."
