Annoucing his death, Justin Sinkovich wrote;
Many of my closest friends and I are shocked by the passing of Steve Sostak. Steve was an absolutely beautiful person. First and foremost, one of the kindest and most generous people I’ve ever known. We spent a lot of time playing shows together with both of our bands based in the same city and on the same label.The top reason I continue to play music today after so many decades is because of the deep friendships it has and continues to create. He was one of those that I collaborated with most for quite a few years. I would often say to myself at that time, “Justin, you should be as nice and generally awesome as Steve is, he’s such a good guy.” I am not exaggerating and for those who knew him, this will not surprise you. He was so special.
A couple of short stories:During Covid lock down, he and his wife walked by the front door of our house. We all did a double take and come to find out they were living NEXT DOOR to us.Musically, one of my very favorite moments in the zillion years I’ve made music, one time Chris Daly with no absolutely no prior warning pulled me on stage to play his guitar for a song at the Fireside. Steve conducted the band and me as we improved a noise section to wrap up the show. I often think of this as one of the most exciting and fun moments of my life.
I know you will be missed by so many people. Much love and condolences to family and friends. I just wanted to post this to maybe help people process such bad news.
