Sgt Steve Harvey, Eng Tech W

[FootTapper]

It's with sadness I must pass on the news that Steve has passed away.

Steve endured a long battle with illness, those who knew him would remember he was far too bloody minded to listen to the doc who gave him a few months - and he decided to stick around for a couple of years longer than anyone thought he had.

I met Steve when I was posted to Brize, he was running the Armoury until he left - a big cornish lad, in size and personality, he tended to say what he liked and liked what he said.

Always used to look forward to him going back down south for a weekend - as there was a good chance he'd bring some real pasties back to treat us.

Steve left the RAF a few years ago, but inbetween trips to the states he still stayed pretty local to Brize for much of the time.

The Brize Armourers' thoughts are with his son Dan and his family.

The Funeral is expected to be on the 8th Jan - I will post up more details as and when available.


RIP Big lad.

Steve was a JT on23 at Wattisham with me. I'll always remember him taking the p1ss on the first job I had to oversign as a Cpl. That's 2 of the 3rd dead hedgehog on the left club gone now.

A pity to lose another good lad so young.

RIP mate

I remember Steve well, he was my next door neighbor at Shotley Gate and at work (VASS 1980). Bumped into him again at Bruggen in the 90's. Yet another gone too soon.

Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

RIP Big Man you'll be sorely missed.

We lived near Steve when we were at Laarbruch (84-87).

A great bloke, sadly missed. RIP
