I can only echo Pauls words above.

I feel honoured to have met Steve and will always remember his gentlemanly manner and the generosity of his time he spent with me.

His workmanship was second to non, peerless in fact...his passion was boundless in our world of air Rifles...his strength in fighting his awful disease resolute.

My heart felt condolences go out to his Wife, Family and Friends.

His memory will live on in the Rifles he has bestowed his skill and knowledge to.

RIP Steve

Another 'echo' if I may.I'd like to add my condolences to those already mentioned on here. Like many shooters I own- and have owned- rifles which were a tribute to his supreme skill and knowledge. Like many others on here I was aware of his illness and his upbeat and amazing way of dealing with it. My best wishes go to his family. RIP Steve

If god is an air gunner, he is in for a treat. Eros might stand a chance of actually hitting what he meant to now.

I am a true blood atheist but for some folk, I hope that I am wrong and their is a heaven.

One of shootings truly solid guys.

A land mark family name in our sport will be remembered. Deep regrets for this kind gentleman's passing. Venom (Dave and Steve) did fine work for me years ago.

I can only echo those comments and thank Paul too for introducing me to Steve about 11 years ago from which we enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship. Always a gentleman with a calm air of authority on all matters airgun and I enjoyed enormously my visits to Steve.

Best wishes to his wife and family and Steve will always have a place in our hearts.
