We have never met in person but I have met you thru Steve & Helen. I am so very sorry that you have lost your wonderful Dad. Lew and I shared such a tiny time in your folks lives but we came to love and admire them both. We recognised ‘special ‘when we saw it and I guess because of who and how they are, we have been incredibly impacted by Steve’s death and Helen’s loss. Thank you for your memories shared. It fills Steve out for me and confirms that his ‘hero’ status in my eyes, is absolutely warranted. You boys are blessed, so blessed to have had a father like Steve, I know you know this but I sit in, well, I want to say envy but negative words don’t fit anywhere near Steve so I will say awe as I am painfully aware the impact bad parenting have on our youth
. You lucked in both ways because once again I have to say your mum was the perfect mate with Steve. A warm loving generous gracious woman , salt of the earth , so brave and strong. If he was my 1st real live hero, Helen has become my second. So young men, thank you for sharing your mum and dad with us. We are a product of our parents so where you go Steve goes. Fantastic! Much love to you all. It goes without saying , your mum is safe in your hands. And, pls pls pls, if you are ever in Auckland you must come and at the least break bread with us and at the most, stay a while. We have just bought a 5 acre lifestyle block up at Mangawhai Heads, right by the beaches etc etc….does that tempt you? P.S. My little forever memory of Steve. I am not the sharpest knife in the block but in debate with your dad I would state an opinion (usually not very well thought out or researched) and he would say (with a twinkle in his eye) Well Trace, yes and no……. and then go on to educate me a tad! I did love him. I do love him !
