Dear Lynne and Family

We are deeply saddened to hear of this tragic accident. So very hard to believe - such a wonderful husband, dad and friend to many. Playing footy he was Mr dependable, loyal and strong as also in life. Our thoughts are with you all at this very sad time.

We are devastated by your loss.

I have great memories of `Uncle´ Steve. I remember the Boxing Days spent at the Groynes with all our second cousins. Always remember Steve in his police uniform with that moustache of his. For someone who grew up watching Chips, Steve was the epitome of cool. Such a decent bloke as well.

Love from all of us.

Incredibly sad news which still seems unbelievable. Steve was a good friend to many, and I certainly cherished my time with him, not only after countless football seasons but also as an early mentor when we worked together. To Lynne and family I wish you strength and to cling onto the memories of a wonderful man.
Sincere condolences.

Dear Lynne, Josh, Hilary, Ben and family. My thoughts and love from afar are with you all right now. Steve is the loyalist of friends. He's been a friend and, well, like an older brother to me really. Like others, I have great memories running, biking, skydiving, being in awe of his golf game, playing footy and hanging out at your place for BBQ's, Xmas, parties etc. We were blessed to be a part of your family lives over the years. He always gave more to friends family and the community. In that sense, kua hinga he totara i te wao nui a Tane.

Deeply saddened with the loss of an amazing uncle. Thoughts with Aunty Lynne and Ben, Hilary, and Josh.

Dear Lynne,

Our thoughts go out to Lyn, Josh, Hilary and Ben on the loss of your husband, father and grand father. Remembered from our children´s school days. Marie and Anton Witteman.

So sad to hear this tragic news, I have many fond memories of Steve and spending many Christmas afternoons in his company, always kind and genuine. A true gentleman, family man and decent bloke. My condolences to Lynne and the kids, I am really sad that I will not see Steve again.
