Journal Entry
TIM HARMON | The Journal Gazette
My friend Steve was hospitalized with COVID-19 in November.
His wife, Mary, had a milder case of the virus and soon recovered. They talked on the phone every day, and his doctors were good about keeping her informed about his condition.
But she never got to see Steve again. He died in early December.
The son of a newspaper editor, Steve spent his working life as a copy editor at the South Bend Tribune. His days were spent reading articles and writing headlines to ensure readers got the clearest, most accurate account of the news possible. Several years into retirement, he was a healthy 75-year-old beloved for his kind, quiet demeanor, keen sense of humor and impressive breadth of knowledge.
