Steff inspired us every day. He was our rock, he was our anchor and most certainly, our hero. Above all Steffan was a loving husband, father, son and brother. Steff fought this disease with the same courage and determination that he applied to his politics.wales will not forget his contribution and his determination to make a difference to people’s lives.”
