fetcheveryone 28 Feb 11:12am, 28 Feb 2024 30,213 posts	0 fetcheveryone Hi all, Yesterday I spoke with Steve's sister. She will keep me updated on any funeral arrangements, and I'll share them here when I know more. One thing she did share was that he was in bed - so the hope is that he passed peacefully. I will be sending her some links to view his blog, pictures, and this thread, so that she can see all the folks who thought a great deal of him. Best wishes Ian

fetcheveryone 28 Feb 11:18am, 28 Feb 2024 30,214 posts	0 fetcheveryone Would anyone be willing to take on the task of creating a route? We have a route already, thanks to CumbriAndy, but in the circumstances, I am sure he wouldn't mind if we save his for next year.

geordiegirl 28 Feb 11:26am, 28 Feb 2024 21,856 posts	0 geordiegirl Thanks for the update Fetch, I do hope he was taken peacefully. I hope his family do find comfort knowing how much he was loved by his fetchies. I was going to see if it was possible to do a memory run for him as we do for DrK cup, but having the virtual challenge finish at Crosby would be a good option too. Not sure I’d be much use as a route planner but happy to support if I can.

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
