Thanks Joy, not been on GR for a very long time, life is good at the moment am keeping well thank you. Hope you and the family are all ok, where is everyone :-)

its good to see you posting Janey
i hope lifes treating you kind xx

Just in case of any confusion I am the other Janey (the first) and most of you will know me from way back, I have not posted for a very long time, and I know you all remember Steve :-)

I was going through my old email's and found a couple from Steve, I miss him :( But wonder how he is coping up there being an angel lol

Steve saw the best in people, and he brought out the best in them.

Found 2 of Steve's threads

Firstly the "Fanny " one

Then one when he left GR

Linda :o) XxX

I first got chatting with Steve on GR. He was always funny and helpful. I mainly chatted with him on msn and FB about our doggies, he always gave me loads of good advice etc. He also nearly talked me into buying one of his pups!!....

He knew that I wanted a painting done of my then 2 dog's, my beloved Tanisha (RIP) and Zeus and he offered to do one for me. He said I needed to email a photo to him of the dogs at 300dpi.......crikes I said how the heck do I manage that?? Don't worry he said, when your ready let me know and will talk you through it. I offered to pay but he insisted that he never charged his friends, that was the big hearted guy he was.

He'll be up there painting portraits and all sorts and taking care of all the doggies.

On GR he was always Jolly and laughing as he was elsewhere too. He will be greatly missed.

RIP Steve.
xx Whirl's xx

Thanks Joy for nudging up the two threads of Steve. I hope there will be more people doing the same,with his other threads, in tribute to his memory, and wonderful sense of humour
Many thanks

i remember him sending stray her music
and him collecting the pencils on a thread how funny
and our talks on his site
his advice of the Internet and dog behaviour
i remember his warmth and him making me laugh
and his love of his family and his dogs shone through
and the kindness he showed others

R.I.P. STEVE

His A - Z thread, in which many became friends in "cyber world" and in the "real world", when we reached z then he changed the topic, but then he left the site for a while and so could not change the topic when he returned; and the f ann y club thread.

Both of those - we had such fun, and we supported one another, we laughed and we cried together.

Him and his dogs and his tales of Crufts
I'll remember Steve best from off here for letting me moan at him about my condition so my lot didnt have to put up with my moaning.Fun 3 way convo with Jax on MSN hence my name of BB (Big Boy) for him. and loads of advice when i was buying my lappy, and then theres the time he sent me a good prize for school raffle and wouldnt even let me reimbure him the postage.

A true gent willing to help anyone.

Ladylol Pusser Cat,
Is it possible for you to put the thread number up for the Fanny Tree thread.
It sound absolutely hilarious, and I am sure, how Steve would have liked to be remembered. God Bless him.
Many Thanks
Julia in Derbyshire

the fanny tree how many fannys did we have the results was so funny we were all crying with laughter still cant believe he has died so sad bless him xxxxx

After been off line for the last few months I am absolutely devestated by the sad news.

Not much I can say about Steve, that has not already been said...He was a kind and caring man who always held out a helping hand to those that needed one.

He helped me to find a bulldog elsewhere, for my OH for his 60th birthday when I could not afford the prices that the breeders in the UK were asking.

A kind soul that will be remembered by many.

R.I.P. Steve...Smile down on us from time to time....

Lindy xxxx

Good memories Joy. But sad too.

We have lost too many members on here.

Linda :o) XxX

Yes I remember that Joy

Have just been reading messages from him and it is so hard to take in the news.
And looking at threads, remember this, when he returned to the site? -
http://www.genesreunited.co.za/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=984775

He just always seemed to be around with a kind word, help for anybody. And even if he wasn't on the boards at the time, if you put up a PC panic thread he would appear, and sort it without making you feel stupid. A lovely man. I had not realised he wasn't around until a few weeks ago when i had a PC query and he wasn't there. I am ashamed that I didn't put up a where is he thread and I had not realised he was ill. He is going to be much missed.
