The obituary notice of Stephen Harry (Steve) RHODES

Steve will be sadly missed, I know many of the people he worked with in the Medical Device industry and they are all deeply saddened, but remember Steve as a engaging, knowledgable and generous person. I had the pleasure of living with him in the Nurses Home at the NSRI and we shared many amazing times together, either at the INset in stoke or at the social club. I got to know him through work when our paths crossed and he did some work for us at my company. I loved his sense of adventure, willingness to try anything and most of all his sense of humour. My sympathy goes to his family, whose loss is shared with the many people whose hearts Steve touched.

Steve was, quite simply, one of the best!
As a manager, he was incredibly supportive, always willing to help and genuinely wanted you to succeed. As a friend, he was kind, selfless and truly salt of the earth.

Steve had a way of making people feel valued and cared for, and I feel incredibly lucky to have known him, worked with him and called him a friend.
A genuinely wonderful man who will be very sadly missed, but never forgotten.

Such sad news.
Steve was a great man, work colleague and most of all a great friend. I will miss our chats and laughs. Nothing was too much trouble for Steve such a kind and thoughtful man. Sadly missed.
My thoughts are with you -Julie, Katie and James .

I am so sorry to hear of Steve's passing. Despite the passage of time, I have lovely memories of the times our families spent together. My thoughts are with you Julie, Katie and James at this very difficult time.

We’re so sad to hear about Steve.
So many memories we could fill a book. Nurses social club, Slaney mansion,touring abroad, Jersey,lunches.
Steve was such a kind hearted selfless man who gave us so much laughter.
Our greatest regret is we never managed to confirm our next lunch date with Steve and Hodge.
I hope you knew how much we loved you Steve.
Thanks for the memories.
