Steele was a giant! He was 6'7'' or more...talk about presence...he'd stick out in a Times Square New Year party. He was a city worker for NYC and had a thing for heavy equipment, and home-made Mad Max machinery. The dude was a character till the day he died. (and a hell of a welder)
I haven't been up there in 15 years, but an old friend called a few years ago and said he'd died. I just took it at face value, certainly didn't seem improbable for the maniac I'd known...but I'd never given it any thought since. Just another interesting chapter in a very convoluted life. I wouldn't be suprised to learn he was cutting out paper angles and devils with the pope,in Togo. (hope he's still making Armeggedon machines in his Brooklyn backyard...he was a talent with metal)
