That's way too soon. RIP Steve.

Truly sad news. My condolences and prayers go out to his loved ones and family. I hope they know what a big impact he has had on so many people who never really knew him.

I was fortunate enough to meet Steve at the reunion at Little River.
Fantastic bloke who enjoyed a chat and loved the fact the fans were all there enjoying a movie made some 30yrs ago

RIP Steve!

He's one of the first characters we see in Mad Max and what an impact he made.

Just one thing to say: We loved you as the tubby MFP guy with such a great attitude to B* like the Nightrider. As I remember he was shortly on our board a couple of years ago, asking for the script of Mad Max 1. R.I.P. Roop. An Hell! He was even younger than Mel Gibson as the first one was shot! Darn ...
I could probably make it on my own, but I like you kids.
