It's been a year since you passed, Steve. You are still very much in my thoughts, so I decided to find that photo I took in London where you stuck your face in the way at the last second. You could always make us smile :-D

Only a few weeks has passed since I found out that my best friend at RM had gone. I'm still finding it hard to understand that word "gone" and its permanency. I was lucky enough to work with Steve for over 10 years, most of it side-by-side. He always made a difficult day better. His smile and humour kept me going. His patience to listen to me when I needed to get something off my chest was unending. His friendship meant a lot to me, and always will. I'm struggling to find the right words to say, but I'm glad I was able to spend today with his family & friends to say goodbye. Steve I am going to miss you. You may be gone, but you'll never be forgotten. RIP my friend.

I sat next to Steve for a few years and saw how he spent his days helping colleagues, often going above and beyond, and then in his spare time he would be helping others, whether it was local friends with computer trouble or random people with Internet troubles. Steve was a caring and funny person who is greatly missed.
