I will always remember Steve with such fondness, it has been such a privilege to have been able to consider him a good friend. The first time I met him would have been in 1988 when Eileen was hosting the 'stage welcome meeting' at the Hutchison house. What an afternoon! It was just the beginning of many years of fun and friendship. Steve welcomed me into his home and into his family and made my stay in Sharjah so enjoyable I was a regular visitor after my Choueifat days were over. He was so patient, which he demonstrated when he tried to teach me how to water ski during our weekend visits to the beach (he could have made a fortune on You've Been Framed with my disastrous attempts!). His parties were legendary and I spent many a fun afternoon/evening/night in the company of Eileen and Steve, thank you Steve for putting up with all my silly antics when I got into the party spirit. Thank you for welcoming my family into your home too, Michael has fond memories of Steve sneaking him into the Wanderers bar for a shandy and Clare has loved our visits to all the lovely restaurants and bars in Cyprus. How can I ever forget sitting at the beach side with Steve and Eileen with a Miami Vice cocktail in my hand, what a joy. Your love of quizzes was shared by myself and Clare and my general knowledge improved on my visits to Cyprus. It was great to be part of your winning team. You will be sorely missed but we have lots of happy memories to keep that smile on our faces as we think of the happy times that we shared. Rest in Peace Steve. xxx
