We are so sad to hear of the passing of our friend Steve (Nobby) Nachorny. I remember the many fun times we spent as teenagers camping and fishing . A lovely man with a great sense of humour and at times the use of colourful language. Deep condolences to Maureen and family. RIP dear friend. Red and Judy Redman

I am devastated at “Big Steve’s” loss, he will leave a hole that can not be filled. He was not only a gentleman but a mentor to me and others. He showed us the way that was of class and integrity and intelligence. Big Steve was always always our rock growing up, the one who taught us how to be good humans how to respect our elders and do a good days work for a good days pay, then save that pay for a rainy day. Of course not all of us listened. Luckily Steve Junior did and he and Sharyn have done an amazing job raising Ash n Jax living an amazing life. I wish I could be there to hug you all! To squeeze Maureen, my Mum’s friend and love of Big Steve. So many memories. To hold Sharyns hand and share a tear with Steve…….. his Dad was always there for us. Steve has always been there for me, and in the later years years Sharyn too. I send my love to you all. The loss of a father, a Pop, a loved one is so hard.

A true gentleman. Was a pleasure to work with him. Nothing was too much fir him to do! Thinking of the family Liz Membrey

All our love and deepest heartfelt condolences to our brother in-law Stephen, Sharan, Ashleigh and Jaxon on the passing of your beloved Dad and Poppy.
We know how much your Dad and Poppy meant to you all and please know that his legacy will forever live on through the love and values he instilled in you Stephen and through his beautiful Grandchildren Ashleigh & Jaxon.
We will miss all of our chats with Steve (always Stefan to me) and I will especially miss his big hugs and funny stories but I’m sure we will all continue to share fond memories at family occasions.
We are thinking of you all during this sad and difficult time and sending you all our love and strength.
With love always, Bec & Gary (Porky) xoxo

We were saddened to hear of Steve’s passing. We thought a lot of Steve. Always a gentleman and always a big smile.
We send our deepest condolences to you Maureen and your family.
Your memories will always keep him close.

I got to know Steve at the now defunct S.E.C.V where Steve and I were fellow Apprenticeship Officers (Steve – Mechanical, me – Electrical) where we became firm friends. Steve was a man of integrity and I placed a lot of value on the way he approached and handled the various complex issues that frequently arose and I’m sure there are many ex-apprentices out there who have fond memories of Steve. After the S.E.C.V ceased to exists we shifted far away from the Latrobe Valley and unfortunately I lost contact with Steve – but never my respect for this outstanding man. My heartfelt sympathy to all those mourning the passing of Steve, a man who was a friend to all.

My deepest sympathy Maureen and family on the loss of your beloved Steve he was one of natures true gentlemen and a wonderful neighbour my love to all xx

My heart goes out to you Stephen, Sharan, Ashleigh and Jaxon for the loss of your dear Dad and Poppy.
I hope a lifetime of wonderful memories will help you through this difficult time.
Love Janice (Nan).

Sending my sincere condolences to Maureen, Stephen, Sharon, Ashleigh & Jaxon at the loss of a wonderful man. It was a privilege to know Steven and I hope your fond memories of him give you some peace at this sad time.

So sorry to hear about Steve’s passing my deepest sympathiy to Maureen Steven and family love to you all Sheila xx

My deepest sympathies to all of Stef’s family. We go back a long ways to the mid to late 50’s when he lived the bottom side of of Skin’s. I used to holiday at Ron’s, my cousin, I’ll never forget Xmas of ‘66. We were all at Lake Entrance us for a few days and Stef a bit longer. We’d all spent the arvo at the Kalimna hotel drinking away merrily. About 6 we decided to go back into town. Skin decided we should drag, Stef in his souped up HR and Sin in his Blue AP5 Valaint.
Stef took off leading, half way down the hill Skin decided we’d take him. Through the Esses on the wrong side we went. Got passed just at the bridge in town. Thankfully nothing was coming up.😇😇😇😇 I never prayed so much in my life..
a great time had by all.
Rest in peace old mate. 🍻🍻🍻
