I can only echo what Lip Gloss has said he was a special man.

And Oss thanks for your lovely words

... Oss :) It was good to meet you, and Steve's other friends and family, and discover that he had good people in his offline life too.

(I'm guessing that back in the days of snail mail a letter from him was a thing of beauty.)

Wonderful words fetch , thank you for representing us all. I wasn't able to watch the live feed but went for a walk on the evening by the sea and tried to remember each of our meetings and all the kind words over the years.

I'll run his parkrun and have a wander round the Another place Ironmen as i did with Steve in 2015. I'm not sure when this will be but i'll post it here and if anyone wants to join me , they are very welcome.

Oh wow that is an amazing time! I hadn’t realised it was 2013 so thanks so much for sharing that!

Oddly his birthday is shared with my father and another of my best friends!

He was a very wonderful man and like you we all miss him already! He was a brilliant force to have with you.. and not could he run 🙌❤️

Oss. My fetch on mobile is playing up today. I had tried to send you a mail just to say thanks for sharing the info and wish you best as it will be a hard time for you but I think I’ve actually sent you about 5 “Hello OSS”’s

Swittle/Proff would have found that amusing from me 🙈😂 apologies!!

Sushi.
Oss, as others have said, it was good to meet you, other friends and family and hear about Swittle/Steve/Prof in the 'real world'.
He was a truly lovely man and will ve missed for a very very long time.

About This Thread

Maintained by Lip Gloss
Never met him in person but always came across as a lovely man.

If you read about his nightly beach runs you could almost have been running along beside him.

He always encouraged others especially on the How was your run thread.

Hope all your beach run are still as perfect as they were while you were here xx

Funeral 5th April 1.30pm at the Thornton Garden of Rest, Lydiate Ln, Thornton, Liverpool L23 1TP
