David Steinhart was my colleague and a day-oner at National Post. He was a barrel-chested bundle of energy and enthusiasm and was an important part of making those early days at the Post so much fun.
David passed away in his sleep last night. He was just 43. No rhyme or reason for this sort of thing. It just is.
I hadn't seen David in a while, though I talked to him once or twice over the last year or so. But I'm told he was in the best shape of his life and I know, cuz he told me, he was on top of the world at Toronto sports radio station The FAN.
Another colleague, Rob Thompson, has a great tribute. I agree with every word Rob wrote.
My condolences to his family. He was a tremendous guy. Other colleagues and friends remember him that way, too.
