There are too many thoughts to restrict it to just one. Steve began as my boss, but quickly became a true and trusted friend. I'll always remember the day that stands out the most, which took place in May 2002 when we embarked on a 'road trip' to the Millennium Stadium to watch our beloved Chelsea play against Arsenal in the FA Cup final. Unfortunately, we lost that day, but the result didn't matter because we experience victory and defeat together. That day will forever be etched in my memory.
Steve, you have been an incredible influence on my life, both professionally and personally, as a dear friend. I say 'have been' because your profound impact will continue to shape my life.
Rest in Peace, Steve.
