Totally blown away by the loss of Stevo. During my time in Air Staff his support and professionalism was always a given. During his time in the UK he was instrumental is supporting Air in the provision of the new Queen's Colour and never turned down the opportunity to fly the flag for NZ, NZDF or the RNZAF. Rest in peace Stevo. Gone too soon. DWJ

So very very sad to read of Stephen's death. I taught him in 1987 at Fairfield School and he was a delightful member of a close-knit group of boys and girls who were very good friends with each other. Stephen was bubbly and funny and contributed hugely towards making that year a total pleasure.
