Those we love don't go away they walk beside us every day. The wonderful memories you have of your life with Stephen will stay with you forever & he will live on through your 4 beautiful children. Sending love & prayers to you all Barbara xxx

Although Stephen spent the last 8/10 years with this awful disease, he was still able to take part in the happy events of his family's lives. He was there for Robert and Beth's wedding, celebrated his own and other family significant birthdays, and saw Catherine's ordination and start of her curacy. He even managed to abseil down the London orbital. He's packed so many things into his life that others may not achieve in their longer lives. He's also earned a lot of respect and love from many people. Sending love ❤️

I worked with Steve for many years and sat across from him for many of them. The thing I remember was the size of his lunch, I did write box and though better of it. I sat with my salad or fruit and he had chocolate biscuits sandwiches crisps and many other goodies. He always talked with such love about his family. Steve was a lovely man who will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Sleep tight. Sandra Hargreaves

Carolyn and I worked together for many years and we both liked to chat ! Before I even met Stephen I knew a lot about him from Carolyn and knew how much he was loved . When I finally did meet Stephen I could see why he meant so much to Carolyn . He was funny , kind and the perfect gent . Last time I saw Steve was only a few months ago on Stanley park it was his birthday he was all wrapped up in his tangerine colours with a cheeky smile on his face xxx Sending all my love to all of you xxx

When our children met at university, we never considered for a moment that we would become family. Your sense of humour and morals live on in the lovely man, your son who I am proud to call my son-in-law. My only wish is that we had longer to get to know you better.

Remembering a good friend and assuring Carolyn, Catherine, Robert, Lizzie and Sarah of our love and prayers. David, Gill and Girls.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Stephen. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
