VK2ARS STEVE SHARP (SK)

The funeral service for Steve Sharp VK2ARS(SK) was held on January 14th at 1pm at the Tweed Heads Memorial Gardens Chapel . Steve was a professional fireman and served at quite a few fire stations around the state. His service was attended by family, friends and colleagues. The Gold Coast Amateur Radio Society and the Summerland Amateur Radio Cub had members in attendance to show their respect. Many senior members from Fire and Rescue NSW and the SES were in attendance. It was appropriate that a fire engine was there too. There were a number of tributes read detailing Steve’s service to the community which extended over many years, including a fine tribute from Geoff Gray VK2DLA. The fire engine led the hearse for a circuit of the grounds, through a saluting guard of honour formed by his colleagues and friends from the organisations he served so well. A moving tribute to a fine man who was taken from us far too soon. Rest in Peace Steve VK2ARS (SK) “Sharpie”.
