Meeting Stephen for the first time a number of years ago to get a cylinder head fixed. We clicked immediately having the same Stephen talking about engines and fixing them. Every time I came in he always made time for me to have a chat and share some of his knowledge. I am absolutely shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. A true gentleman. He will be sadly missed. My condolences.

Much sadness to hear that Steve has died. Our girls remember him as their favourite teacher at Manning Intermediate and a fine colleague during my time there. A kind and gentle man. Love to you and your family Ruth.

Good evening, i was saddened to hear of Steve's passing. I had not been in to see him for some time. I worked for him part time several years ago. He knew me from my having been in the same industry. He was gentleman and very good machinist. His family should be very proud of him and his values. Rod Robinson.
