As part of the Knight’s world for the past 36 years it is impossible to imagine being without Steve. The Hutchison’s are our second family and Steve a very dear true best friend and second dad. Together we have covered the full gamut of events, supporting each other through births, deaths, marriages and numerous fun and crazy celebrations.
Steve’s steady advice and kindness has helped us in many situations. and we are forever indebted for this.
However, it is the fun days on the beach, tennis court, birthdays, anniversaries, numerous parties and travelling together that we hold most dear. When Steve & Eileen retired to Cyprus it took little persuasion to follow and to continue the journey. The last five years have been extra special days, exploring the countryside and our many wine tasting road trips. Even when Steve began to slow down and fail physically we enjoyed regular games of Rumikub - Steve’s sharp mind never faltered and he always quietly controlled the game. Our last Sunday together was spent enjoying another a game (which he won) and then reminiscing over a group photo of his Sharjah friends. He talked of everyone with fondness and in detail. Our final parting was leaving Steve in repose doing what he enjoyed most - watching a Sunday afternoon football match, his eyes focused on the TV as we bid farewell. Despite his failing health and difficulties Steve never complained, he was always composed and content.
We lucked out having Steve as a true friend. We cherish all the happy times together. His knowing look, endearing smile and wise words will stay with the Knight family always and all the wonderful memories will be treasured in our hearts forever.
