I new Trevor back in the late 70s. I lived next door to him and his family with wife Judy, kids Matt and Cobi (who I used to baby sit) at Dover Gardens, Adelaide. Back then he was a Rep with RCA Records and I was given a good supply of records to listen to, I still have most of them. He shared stories of meeting and spending time with famous artists such as Rod Stewart. I then caught up with Trevor in the early 90s when he was with SAFM as their Rock n Roll Roadie, he pulled up in the van outside my workplace and was I on air for a split second with him. Condolences to his family.
