Jerry Marsden has provided the following comments regarding Steve's send-off:

It was a rainy windy day at Mollymook SLSC and a good crowd to farewell Steve.

MOBI representation comprised Ed Thomson, Ed Watson, Tony Fletcher, Greg McTernan and myself from our intake, along with Phil Croese, an Ulladulla lad, there as well. Tributes from others of our lot who couldn't make it were read out – and there quite a few of them. Greg and I drove over together from Canberra in the morning and back after the service.

It was a very good service with family members speaking of their memories and also of Steve’s love of the Navy. It remained a real part of his life and he was very proud of it. Steve was a real recycler and conservationist, so it was fitting that his coffin was made out of recycled fence palings!

Greg and I said the Naval Ode for Steve and the family was appreciative of that ceremony. We were able to talk with the family with Steve’s Mum and Dad being there as well as his sisters and daughters plus partners and grandchildren (and former spouse). Steve was only 64 ½ and his time came way before it should have.

Thanks for that, BC, he would have been very appreciative of those thoughts, I'm sure...
