I knew Steve from school and haven't seen him for quite a few years, but was deeply saddened when I heard the news today. What a sad loss of a really great human being. He always had a smile on his face.

My condolences to all his family.

We have lost a part of us that nothing and no-one can replace.Steve was my nephew,and racing sidecars was in his blood,his first attendance at a meeting was  when he was around two years of age when his dad and i first started racing, even then he used to polish the outfit. words fail me but i know he enjoyed every moment of his racing career, we may not have been at his meetings with him but we supported from afar. so proud of you. We will always and forever miss you.

Uncle Roy, Aunty Jean, Joanne & Hayley

A massive loss & my sincerest condolences go to his family.
I knew Steve throughout our school days and we sat next to each other during Park Middle.
A talented pupil in all subjects at school, especially in art, rugby & running.
Always had a smile on his face and a real joker that could leave you in stitches.

God bless you Steve!
Regards Rob Farr

I Have been a sidecar fan for 30 years. i have competed off road events during the seventies and eighties. i have followed road and track racing always.

In 2007 i was fortunate enough to have a ride on Steves sidecar at the "day of champions" at donnington. as with all sidecar people it was like one big family, and he and his wife were happy to give me one of his race suits to use for the ride.

He had the most vibrant personality that was immediate and could tell striaght off he was a liked man...

 I am so sorry he has gone.. but hey he'll still be racing somewhere.
