I've got so many amazing memories of fun times with your Dad, especially the exciting Saturdays: wake up excited, early dog walk, cooked breakfast, racing post, get dressed up, Ladbrokes, Villiers, more fine studying of the racing post, charcuterie lunch & wine, yelling at the telly, tea / nap break, cocktail hour, fabulous dinner, singing our hearts out to Billy Joel and there may have been some heated debates in the mix too ;) And all that was a 'normal' Saturday, heaven forbid when we were going to Cheltenham! It was like he was getting ready for his wedding day!
I hope you can all get through this difficult time and find some time together to celebrate his life and remember how blessed you all are to have him for a Dad / husband / best mate. I just wish I could be there. Hang in there!
All my love
Rach

Our Best Man and my Best Mate! Missing you already and so sad that you never got to see our new home. The family eulogies say it all and similarly, we only ever knew great times with so much laughter whenever we were all together.
Thank you for your lasting friendship, support and guidance through the years. You never let me down and I sincerely hope that I did the same for you.
Thinking of the great times we shared together, I can only say “Tout a l’heure mon petit canard et bonne chance mon bon ami”. Save a seat for us in the members restaurant at the great Racecourse in the Sky!
Fondest memories

Dearest Stephen. The brother I never had. The inspiration for my career. My advisor whether requested or not. A partner in crime. The person who along with Sue introduced me to a life I could never have dreamed of. You will be sadly missed but there are a multitude of amazing memories to ensure you are always in our thoughts. American Pie!!!
RIP Mate. Cheers. XX
The Osler Family
The entire Osler family send their love and best wishes to you all. Stephen always welcomed everyone and no matter how brief the moment the memories endure. Take care of each other.

To the Price family,
Please accept our sincere condolences on your loss. Sue and Stephen were so kind to us in the handover of The Willows, for which we still thank you every week! Your happy legacy lives on here. We also welcome the chance to support your chosen charity, not least because it (ironically) represents another link between us. With our very best wishes, L, G and R xxx
N Sethia Foundation and Newby Teas
The staff at Newby Teas and the N Sethia Foundation offer their most sincere condolences to Sue and the family on the loss of Stephen.
For nearly 10 years, Stephen was a true ambassador for our business, using his experience, charm and wit, to successfully place our brand into major retailers across the UK. We will work hard to maintain his legacy and expand upon it.
Stephen’s straight talking, humorous and positive slant on life will be sorely missed by us all but his true mark on this world can be measured by the strength and beauty of his family’s comments in these messages. Rest in peace Stephen.
Paul and Emma Dunham
Stephen's level head and positive outlook meant I relied on him as a mentor, sounding board and friend, receiving solid advice (as someone else has said) whether I wanted to hear it or not! I sense, from other comments, that I only got a small glimpse of Stephen's positive impact on his family and his wider world but I am very grateful for the wisdom and kindness he shared with me. Rest in peace Stephen and my condolences to Sue and the family at this time of reflection and sadness but also, I am sure, positive memories.
Rekha Ladwa
Please accept my deepest condolences to the family and may god give you all the strength in this difficult time. I had known Stephen for the last 8 years. He was a very kind, gentle, helpful, cheerful and positive person. I absolutely loved working with him especially his wise advise and guidance. He will immensely be missed at Newby Teas. God rest his soul in peace.
Aneta Aslakhanova
Dear Stephen,
How sad that I have to say this in a message… I feel fortunate to have met you and worked with you for almost 8 years. Time flew by so quickly and we have managed so many amazing projects together and had so many more planned… You were always inspiring, always happy and cheerful and could make even a grumpy Russian like me smile. I will always remember you as a true Englishman and a genuinely kind person you have always been.
Rest in peace.

Lovely man, always had a story and slightly dodgy horse tip 😬
Love to you all xx
Mike & Jennie Davies
We have so many lasting memories from Paris, Dublin work at Dairy Crest, Masterchef dinners, Gleneagles weekend and most importantly the RACING. When you start to think the list is endless. We were only discussing our friendship on the phone back in June saying it goes back over 25 years and it’s past in a flash. Without you and your enthusiasm to push the boundaries life would certainly have been a lot quieter for us. We would not have missed it for a moment. It was a privilege to have known you. You have left us with a major void, what are we going to do now that our entertainments manager is now directing operations elsewhere?
Good bye best friend, to miss you is a vast understatement.
Love Mike and Jen xx
Steve simmance
You will be missed by the food industry stephen the world you put so much of your life into And created opportunity for everyone around you.
An inspiration to us all, a legend and one of life’s Greats!
Robert Lightfoot
I first met Stephen in 2010 during his interview process with Newby Teas and we have been in touch regularly in our semi-retirement from the company.
I shall remember his kindness in offering personal advice and his positivity in dealing with his illness, which was an inspiration.
One of the good guys, who will be greatly missed.
Jenny Parnell
I am so sorry for your loss, I worked with Stephen at Sethia London/ Newby teas for many years. Always enjoyed my chats with Stephen, he was a lovely man with a very kind heart. Sending you my condolences and prayers. With love Jenny xx
Mel, Rose and Sofie
Dear Stephen,
You welcomed us with open arms when we became part of your wonderful family.
Although we've only shared your life for just 4 years, you have given us enough love and memories to last a lifetime in our hearts.
We will miss your shining light so much and promise to take very special care of Sue, Simon and all of the family.
Love Always Mel, Rose and Sofie (your little petit pois)
Terry Hudson
My sincere condolences and best wishes to all of Stephen's family. Whilst working with Stephen it was always hard work but fun along the way.
David Wagstaff
So sorry to hear of Stephens passing , we had met at Dairy Crest and worked together through a great team on the Cathedral City brand development and subsequently through other business engagements post the fast and furious fantastic DC days.
Sophie
Thumbs up with Grandad
Alan Finkle
Dear Sue and family. On behalf of Sandra and myself please accept our deepest condolences on the sad loss of Stephen. We first met you both through Russell our friend, when Steve was at CPC. I remember a wonderful day at your house in Gedney Dyke. More truthfully, I think I remember some of it, as quite a few drinks were taken in. The Party and night out in Ripon and Harrogate. Then coincidentally Julia coming to work with myself. Finally I had the opportunity to work with Steve for a short time at Speyside. Steve was an inspiration, and wonderful person to be around. He genuinely lit up a room when he entered. Once again, our deepest sympathy. It was a pleasure to have known you both.
Margaret George and Jaz
Stephen was a very kind hearted man and he was always smiling, he will be deeply missed by us all. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. xx
Laura Anton
I am so sorry to hear the sad news. We worked together at Newby teas. He was always positive and caring. Such a lovely person! My thoughts are with his family.
Laura
Gary Smith
I am so sorry to hear this sad news. Stephen was one of the most dynamic and positive people I knew in the FMCG industry. I knew Stephen mainly in his DC days and although I sat across the table from him I always respected hIm and was often inspired by his unbreakable spirit.
Gwen Hustwit
Stephen, Mr Price,
What an honour to have crossed your path. I will always remember the lightness, fun and wit you brought to every encounter, to every meeting. You were a true British gentlemen (in my French eyes!) and you had this magical ability to make everyone feel like they were the most important person in the room - that was your presence. Keep shining your warm and bright light wherever you are. Godspeed Stephen. Gwen (we worked together at Newby Teas from 2012 - 2018).
P.s. I am so delighted to have read that you saw Leeds getting promoted!!!
Ricardo Galera
I had the privilege to work with Stephen at Newby Teas. I will always remember him for his sense of humour, kindness, and positive mind.
A great gentleman I was lucky to cross paths.
Rest in peace dear friend
