From Brian Buchanan Aitchison
This is very sad news. I worked with Stephen 74-78 in EDI and as a small group of staff we got to know each other well. I can still see him sitting at our small ticket desk working out some horrendous rerouting ticket and thumping the Ticket Validation Stamp. Apart from a brief period seeing him in BA Waterside I lost touch with him. EDI was a special time for me and Stephen was a memorable part of that time. RIP Stephen be at peace now. My sincere condolences to Jim and family

So sorry

From James Scotland
I am so sorry. I too was a member of the BCal EDI team from 1975. Stephen was very friendly and always happy to share his knowledge especially about ticketing. It's because of him I ended up working at the Gatwick ticket desk…he encouraged me to better myself. We had a few trips and many route familiarisations together. We went to Budapest with Malev Airlines both had a G&T, Stephen asked for lemon the crew came back with a whole lemon cut in half and handed it to us. Happy Times. RIP Stephen and thanks for everything you did for me as a young man.

Condolences from Anji and I. We were part of the Edinburgh team until 1984 and have many happy memories of working and socialising with Stephen.
