Steven Pitt, aka Bugman.


Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO

Recommended Posts

It's with great sadness that I have to announce that Steve has lost his battle with cancer. Steve passed away earlier today, at home with his family after coming home from a hospice. 

As many of you know, he built his Sport 250 from a kit completing it in July 2018, but never stopped upgrading and improving. His first outing was to our summer BBQ after going to the wrong Fox and Grapes. 3 days later, we were at Thornes Park for his first show. His enthusiasm for all runs and shows was immense, even after we all left him in a carpark when his steering wheel collapsed leaving him to gaffer tape it back together to complete his journey. 

Steve was a regular at all our meetings and will missed by us all. 

Our thoughts go out to Dawn and Josh.

Such sad news, I saw Dawn's message on FB when he came home, so felt the dread as soon as I saw the thread title.

 

He'll be a huge loss to all his family and friends, and was a great Club member to boot. Condolences to his family.

 

RIP

So sad to read this report. I first met Steve at the Thornes Park and spent quite a time speaking with him, I came away with the impression that Steve was a terrific guy. Our thoughts are with Steve's family at this sad time.

It was truly an honour to have known Steve and he was a fantastic gentleman ... even when I dumped half my oil on his drive he was still as nice as ever. He will be missed by a lot of people and I hope he rests in peace.

Very sad news, our sympathy to Dawn and Josh. What a great guy Steve was, so open, warm and friendly as well as being very knowledgeable. May he rest in peace.

We all lost a true Gent today, Steve was so enthusiastic about his build it was a pleasure to meet him and follow his build thread on the forum. When I met Steve at the Yorkshire meets whilst his build was in progress I was always astounded by his engineering skills and knowledge on all subjects and how he could overcome problems, making his Westy build a fantastic achievement, along side his mammoth 74 page build thread Steve completed his build from factory collection to IVA pass, first time, in just under 8 months! ..  RIP Steve you have many many friends and family who will miss you greatly.  :westy:
