Admin Team
I am sad to announce today that the A2OC Admin team has learned of the passing of respected forum member Steph @steve_c, on January 12th in the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital. At his request, he has been laid to rest at an unattended funeral.
Over the 6 years and more that Steph had owned his A2 and been a member of A2OC, he had written nearly 2500 posts, with a lot of useful advice and knowledge. Other than a couple of episodes of poor health, he was active on the forum right up to the first few days of this year. A quiet, private individual, few members other than fellow Norwich resident @Teresa had met him in person until, with her encouragement, he started to attend some of our socials during 2022. I consider myself fortunate to have shared his company at the meals we held in Norwich and Silverstone, and to have had the previous pleasure of hosting him and his A2 on my driveway last summer as one of @timmus' customers.
We are told that Steph derived a lot of pleasure and satisfaction from his A2, and that he will have relished the contacts he made through the forum. I'm sure I speak for others who met him, in wishing that I might have had the chance to get to know such an interesting person better.
May you rest in peace, Steph.
