That's a moving tribute; my father gave me similar things and I still miss him

It's Trevor "Massiah".

Edit: Just finished reading: a fine and moving tribute. Thank you.

Great post Steve.

Really sad to read about Steve...too young to die. Knew him from his time on the North York Moors. Always good company and a superb rock climber. Great loss.

Thanks for putting on. Lovely article. Trev previously put something on FB which I wanted to comment on but the skills eluded me! Although I didnt know Steve that well I just want to re-iterate how warm a character he was and how full of passion. Of course I mostly remember him from Bristol parties - his dancing, big smile and exuberance. He was a legend who wont be forgotten

Very moving and so sorry to hear about Steve's passing. I remember on a trip to the alps in about 1990, trying to ignore the petrol tank warning light as Steve was determined to max the mileage between fills. We never did run out of petrol, and then Steve cooked up a monstrous lentil and garlic stew which had dire repercussions. I lost touch and then years later read about a certain Hazel. He must have been a very proud dad.
