In loving memory of Stephen Franks, who sadly passed away on 3rd September 2019.
Born 9th January 1953 to Marjorie and Alfred Franks, Steve always had a passion for sports, football in particular. He would make the long journey to watch Spurs play at White Hart Lane, where in later years he became a season ticket holder.
Having a good eye for accuracy and fine detail, Steve went to college in High Wycombe and became an apprentice draughtsman at ITW. He had a fulfilling career, lastly working for Tecan until his retirement.
In 1982 he married Julie and fathered two daughters, Holly and Zoe, of whom Steve was always exceptionally proud. During their married years Steve started playing golf. This soon became more than a hobby for Steve, and he could always be found on a golf course (or at least somewhere hitting a few balls.) He shared his passion for golf and football with his partner Lynnette. They won many trophies together and were both Captains at Alton Golf Club. Joining Blackmoor Golf Club led Steve and Lynnette to make so many close friends, who supported them both through Steve’s treatment for cancer this year.
Steve will be sorely missed, and his memory will live on in those who were lucky enough to know him.
