A keen karaoke performer, Steve never shied away from a performance. He would encourage others to join in and sing along to his favourites. On special occasions he would even re-write the lyrics. You will be missed my friend, I have nothing but fantastic memories. Our condolences go out to Steve's family, we're thinking of you.

Seeing you with your big grin as I walked up to get my degree gave me courage, you had a look of joy and pride. Thank you for having that presence at UCOL. The world has definitely lost some cheer, but heaven has gained it. RIP Steve

Dear Carole, Sarah and Jo,
It was with great sadness that I heard from Abby that you have lost Steve.
Both Matthew and my thoughts are with you at this sad time.
We both always enjoyed time in Steve´s company and although it has been a while since we saw Steve he will be remembered for many reasons, but in particular for his singing on the veranda at Furneaux Lodge where he belted out the Proclaimers " I would walk 500 miles". It goes with out saying whenever I hear that song it´s Steve that comes to mind and will continue to do so. He took it to a new level that night and everyone embraced and loved it!!
Your loss will be tough but your beloved and fond memories will carry you through.
Blessings and much love to you all at this sad time.
Sarah and Matthew Claridge.
