This site is dedicated to the memory of Steve.
Steve was born in Edgworth, Bolton on 18th March 1947. He went to school in the village, and later attended Canon Slade. He studied Geography and Geology at Oxford, before returning to the north west as a teacher. Steve was a great sportsman, and played cricket for Edgworth Cricket Club for over 40 years, taking some 1000 wickets during his career. Above all, Steve was a much loved husband of Pam, a great dad to Jamie and Janet, and a legend to the rest of the family. We are proud of his achievements, and we will always love and miss him.

Thoughts
He is gone
You can shed tears that he is gone
Or you can smile because he has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
