Deepest sympathy to Maura and the boys.
Steve was a good friend to me.
I have known him since 1987 and appreciated the fact that he willingly transferred employment from Kelly & Lewis Springvale to Thompsons Castlemaine.
I valued his (quirky but understated) sense of humour, his keen interest in art and his outlook on life.
I have several of Steve’s paintings and always looked forward to his entries in the Harcourt Applefest Art Show.
I have kept all of the envelopes which he mailed to me, with their amusing forms of address.
Life won’t be the same without Steve.

Steve was our neighbour for 30 years.
He’s a good friend who’ll be sadly missed.
