I've got some horrible news this evening for the ones who knew him: One of our most respected members, a really good personal friend of mine, avid collector of Soviet cameras and President of Chicago Photographic Collectors Society, a father and a husband, Steven Berkowitz (aka Bull Halsey on our forum) had passed away this morning. It was very unexpected and came as terrible shock. Steve was one of the kindest people I knew, a great mentor and a good friend. My thoughts and condolences go out to his wife Marji and children.

I realize Steven was an active member of this forum way before I started collecting and posting comment about Russian cameras. Vlad please accept my sympathy for the grief you are experiencing for the loss of your on-line friend Colin

I did not know personally Steven, but we exchanged regularly through the forum...
All my sympathy to his wife, his children and his close friends.

Jacques.

Thank you all for your sympathy, I will make sure to pass it on to his wife at the funeral,

Colin, he was actually a good friend of mine offline, he was the president of Chicago Photographic Collectors Society of which I am a board member.

I'm very sad to hear the news of our friend passing. Steve was a good friend of mine, although we never met in person. I will miss him very much. My condolences to you Vlad and please pass them on to his family as well.


Rest in peace, my friend.

Regards, Bill
