Sorry to be the bearer of bad news all, but have to announce the very sad and sudden death of Steve Prince on the bank holiday.
He will be deeply missed both by myself and all of my colleagues at Finning as both a friend and a fantastic driver and crane operator.
RIP mate
Hi plant fitter,
Omgthat is such a shock!steve was a bit older than me,I first met him 30 plus years ago when his parents owned the fairways hotel in porthcawl.in more recent times he used to call into work and see me now and again.sad news r.i.p.
mate.
Regards andrew.
So sorry to hear the news that Steve has passed on, I am sure his CB handle was Skippy when I was running out of Wotton Roadstone in Wenvoe, there was 32 of us on channel 32 and you always had a good laugh, Steve always used to go on about fancying a Strawberry Mivvi ice lolly in the warm weather. R.I.P mate you will be missed. Ian

hi niel wat a brilliant job on echo 1s lorry ica n still see him in it with that cheeky grin well done he loved that lorry regards rowly
Hi Neil, as Rowly said what a brilliant job you have done with this model. The real business fairplay.
I am afraid I let the South Wales boys down this week. I just returned from San Francisco and had a great opportunity to tie the trip up with a photo and connection.
Just off Lombardi street, the zig zag one used in many film scenes was a store with a photo of a Cardiff bus on it. Couldn’t believe it. I was all excited and ready to take a few shots with the phone, and screwed up by once again listening to a woman. The girlfriends daughter said or we will get a photo of that with the camera later.
Yeah right, never went back that way, but ended up, with a bunch of some rusty old bridge ffs. Women!
Gotta have a laugh.
Regards to all,
Paul.
