Hi,

Not too sure who on here knew my dad Ste but I just thought I’d make a quick post to let you all know that unfortunately he passed away at the weekend.

So sorry to hear. My condolences to your family. RIP.

So sudden. Always enjoyed his 'lively' posts. Condolences to all friends and family.

Very sorry for your loss. Not met anyone from this forum, but from his posts I felt I knew him a little and I'm sure we would have enjoyed a pint. My condolences.

Really sad to hear to this… he was a funny bloke who spoke his mind, seemed to have had an interesting life, and was a great contributor to this forum.

I hope you get to see the comments on here about your dad, and that they help in some small way to show he lived a life well lived…

Very very sad news, our condolences to you and your family at this time.
Loz & Sharron.

Me and my mate had a selection of Viva's too, a Mazda reg VEN 1T I think, always wished it was VOM 1T, the colour was right - windscreen wipers never worked.

Never had a Ford, but my other mate got a Triumph Dolomite which he stoved in on day one, then a VW Karmann Ghia which he also stoved in on day one. Then an ex-Royal Mail van which lasted ages! We went all over Wales in it touring Welsh Narrow Gauge railways. Rock and Roll, baby! We did the WHR, Tallylynn, the Glyn Valley Tramway what was left of it, Ffestiniog, Corris Railway then the Vale of Rheidol.

Great days! Awesome!

Just had a read of Wanderers last post on SM , all we have when it gets to the end is our memories so make good ones for as long as you can, I'm glad his last post was one so full of memories, you forget things, then someone triggers a memory and you're 19 again, laughing at the things you got up to.

We can but hope he was laughing as he typed those last three words

Very sad and my thoughts are with his family. You couldn’t help but smile at some of his posts, he didn’t hold back, he’ll be missed.

 

[Froddy]

Just read this and I am so, so sorry to hear this news. Thoughts and prayers are with you at this awful time …

Sincere condolences, very sad news. Best wishes to the family.

[Wanderer]

Thank you everyone for the messages ❤️ Really comforting to know he was appreciated by so many.

We will be selling his car (QP5) but have no idea so I hope you all don’t mind if I pop on here for some help at all. Thank you again x

I’m sure there will be much support in getting a fair price on here, is it in the uk at the moment, your dad was working overseas wasn’t he?

 

[Simon1963]

You’ll get all the guidance you need on here. I’m pleased you found comfort in knowing your Dad was well liked member of the community. I hope you and the rest of the family are holding up as best you can. All the very best to all of you.

Yeah it’s in the U.K. luckily! He’d not taken it over for work in a while.

It was noted that LeMans is twinned with Bolton; something for us to remember Wanderer by I’m sure.

Only yesterday @DrHoux and I shared a toast in memory of Wanderer, whilst sitting outside the Hotel de France in La Chartre watching the finish of LM.
RIP
