There are so many memories, his laugh, his smile. In the past when I thought of him a silly grin would appear on my face, and I would hear him saying “Oh Muhammad!” a memory from when we stayed with him and Moe. They rescued our family of six and squeezed us all into their home when we first came to Hamilton. His heart was so big, his smile infectious and boy he could sing. He gave great hugs. I am going to miss him, but his memory still has the power to make me smile. My sympathy goes to your whole family. Thank you for the live streaming, I will be watching from Australia.

Steve it is with heavy hearts that Tracy and I say hooray for now. You have been been a part of our lives in one way or another for over 40 years. Singing at Tracy's 21st, selling our homes and being a true friend. I will miss our banter between Mancherter United and Liverpool. You will be missed by us both very much. RIP mate your journey here is done and you have left lasting memories with all that have crossed your path. We love you and until we meet again.

Remembering Steve with a smile. You always said hello and asked after dad (Arthur Leong) You and your band played at my and Adrian's wedding. Great music, great friends, great memories. A warm gregarious man, it was always a joy to catch up with you, though more infrequently as the years progressed. Arohanui whanau
