Well, now you are not here. We will all miss you. It's been fantastic working with you.
We have all been able to learn so much from you.

I hope you will enjoy your retirement. Enjoy the time to do the things that make you happy!

Thanks Steve for mentoring me when I was newly made the Manager of the Careers and Cooperative Education team in 2007 and had a limited understanding of Careers. It would have been much harder without your regular advice and support. We were indeed fortunate to have you on our team. Your understanding of the history and vicissitudes of Careers services in Australia is probably unsurpassed. The team has benefited immensely from your guidance on Career matters and, as our resident pedant, your regular edits of all written material.  I have certainly learned a lot from you, including the importance of spelling Career Advisers with an "e" and not an "o", and never using the word "mentee"!I was delighted when NAGCAS recognised your contribution to the sector and made you an honorary member at the very enjoyable conference in Wollongong when we all indulged in Bollywood dancing.

I have been procrastinating over this message for two weeks because 1) I don’t want you to go and 2) I don’t think I can do you justice in this tiny post! Steve, I met you nine years ago and by all rights, given your wealth of experience and standing in the careers sector, you should have been a stuffy, pompous love-me-do. To my absolute delight, you weren’t (well most of the time!). From day one you have shared your knowledge and experience with an open heart and a genuine desire to develop the best in others. You have given me so much and truly nurtured my passion for careers. The team won’t be the same without you. It’s been a fun ride. I hope retirement version 2.0 treats you well. Lots of love and best wishes. You must keep in touch.

All the best for a fabulous post-WSU life, Steve. You've seen more than your fair share of career education in the tertiary sector - the highs and lows, the changes and improvements, the politics and research - and you have provided a knowledge base and guiding hand to hundreds of career educators along the way. Thank you! I hope you have some plans for wonderful holidays!

It has been a pleasure working with you over the last 7 years, when we actually worked together that is!
I wish I could have worked with you more over the past couple of years but sadly our days didn't cross over.
However I have the memorable team meetings, debates and fabulous information giving to look back on. You are a wealth of knowledge and will be dearly missed by all.

Best of luck for your next adventure and enjoy retirement!

Hey Steve, wishing you all the best for what's to come in 2017 and beyond. I enjoyed our irregular catchups when I was at Careers and learning a great deal from you each time. All the best!

It was a pleasure working with you Steve and helping you out with any technical issues that you've had. You've always been a fountain of knowledge and a great asset to the team.

I hope you enjoy everything life has to offer and please keep in touch.
