Despite only planning an intimate service, your presence in person would be very welcomed if this is where you would like to join us to celebrate Steve’s life.
The family will be wearing dark colours, but we invite you to wear something with a splash of colour if you wanted to.
We are not planning a formal celebration of his life immediately following the service. However, we would like to invite you to join us at The Smiths Arms, on Friday 28 February, between 12pm and 5pm, before moving into the bar for the evening. We invite you to bring photos of memories you have with Steve, share stories of times you will remember fondly, and wear the colours of your choice to celebrate the good times with us.
We are also intending on scattering Steve's ashes and raising a glass in Ilkley, the place Steve grew up, later in the year. Please do reach out if you are unable to join us at The Smiths Arms and would like to celebrate Steve's life then with us.
Please contact, Ruth, Steve's daughter, on 07545952437, to let us know you will be joining us, or for any more information.
Donations in memory of Steve can be made in lieu of flowers to Samaritans using the just giving link above.
