At the time Stevo passed away there was an article in a Sydney paper that the Undertakers were taking his body to Glebe and that one was issued a ticked for not wearing a seatbelt at the time.
I first met Dennis when he was working the old digidar in Moore Park Road in the mid seventies. A true character that lad…he talked me into joining the HWP and after watching him in action I was at North Sydney HWP not long after. A true gentleman and comedian….everyone in the HWP knew Dennis….went to his funeral at Mascot……will always remember him…CORCO..
I remember Stevo from North Sydney STP/HWP. A character always with a smile and giving cheek to everyone. I understand that it wasn’t unusual for his bike to be regularly parked outside the Maroubra Beach call box. A good bloke, sorry to hear he’s passed. RIP
