Rest In Peace, Mike Stevens, my Father, 1940-2005.

My sincerest condolences bro.

Terribly sorry to hear about your loss; I'm sure that's one of the toughest things to deal with in life. You should take comfort in that he led what appears to be a very fulfilling life, as that's what it all about. I'd imagine he was extremely proud of you if you've been successful enough to afford a Ferrari, and I'd think as a parent that'd mean much more to him than the car itself. As others have mentioned before, he looks to be a very genuinely happy man from the pictures. I can't really formulate a worthy response to you (a longtime friend of mine recently lost his father and I didn't have the ability to address that situation; such things are clearly a shortcoming of mine), but know that you've got all our deepest sympathies and best wishes...

Condolences dude. He sounds like the kind of man anyone who met him would have been proud of.

Hey, I thought maybe some people here would be interested.

Rob (rkjunior) came up with the idea that a couple of us could get together and send flowers, so we got in touch with John Sosta over at AGD-Europe to find out details, and he informed us that Simon's family had chosen a charity to donate to in lieu of flowers.

We started a thread over on the Thorums and there seemed to be some interest in donating, so we set up an Automags.Org group on the charitys website.

You can donate right through their website if you want. Theres more details in the link below.

Simon, Mel informed me a bit ago, but since I've been working my fingers to the bone opening this field, I have not had a chance to reply until now.

My condolances to you and yours.

Simon, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

It sounds like he was a great guy. Hang in there....
