I know that some of you will know of Stephen from his many postings as Steve 56, Thomas Crown 68 or other aliases on various sites that he posted on over many years. As some of you know he passed away last month and there is now a campaign to raise money for a decent funeral.
Stephen Doran was 59 and lived in London, alone. Due to his health he couldn't work. His main hobby was the internet which he accessed through internet cafes. He posted many youtube videos on Facebook and other sites as his passion was pop music, films and TV of the 50/60/70s and even further on up to date. His memory for dates of events on TV/radio and film was amazing. He was a loner whose only contact with the outside world was the internet. He had many friends on the internet who he had never met and yet they liked him and vice versa. On the 18th of January 2015 his last post on Facebook took place. It was a pop song by the Equals. He disappeared from the internet then. I contacted a local police station to his address gave them his address and they found him dead in his flat. It is quite possible that Stephen will be given a Social Service burial and I would like to raise funds in his memory to pay for a better funeral than that or at least make a donation to a charity in his name.
