HELLO EVERYONE, im steve hopes son kev,
this is the 1st time i have been able to bring myself to look at the trucknet forums since my dad passed away,
well i was having a ■■■■■■ morning and needed a well deserved pick me up so i faut i would read thru a few of my dads posts,
i just want to thank all of you that showed your amazing support for my dad thru his illness and recovery, and then illness again,
it was a very testing time an i swear he did it to annoy us all haha
i just wanted to say thankyou to all who showed support at truckfest 2009, u were all amazing and u did my dad and my family so proud,
u will always be friends to me and my sister
my dad was a great man i dont think i need to tell u that, and he was my best friend,
i am so proud to have called him my dad and thank him so much for making me who i am 2day,
i no he is in that truckstop in the sky tryin to get his wi-fi sorted an loggin onto trucknet,
so if u can read this dad… i love you and i miss you so much x
I never met your dad, but I read his story on here and along with the many on here, felt like I knew him personally, from what I’ve read, your dad was a gent and I only wish that I had met him. speaking for the rest of the lads and lasses on here, it would be a pleasure if you stick around and join in with the banter, it’s what your dad would have wanted. 
Same comments as The Highway Man…RIP Steve…
Yes stay in contact steve,it,l be good to hear from you.I like others never met your dad but he helped a lot of us with problems and will never be forgotten. R.I.P.Steve.
best regards and sympathy to you all. dave.
Kev,
I never met your dad, knowingly…anyway.
But you and your sister did him proud on Sunday, 2 strong kids who stood among us. My wife was in tears watching you both. Stick around kid, I reckon you got the same witty humour as the old man?
RIP Steve
