My first recollection of Steve was in Glasgow Scotland when we were toddlers. He was a year older than me. My mum Cathy and Steve's mum were sisters and they used to meet in the local park. I remember Steve and I used to chase each other round the fountain. When we were teenagers he in Canada me still in Scotland we used to write to each other. We did not meet up again until my husband and I moved to Canada and lived at his mum's house for a short time and I also met Marilee. Steve was very quiet and reserved but a lovely man and I was in shock when I learned of his death. My thoughts and prayers are with you Marilee, Becky and Kristen.
Our deepest sympathy to Mrs. Roberts and her family for their untimely loss. Our hearts and prayers go out to you all. He will be sorely missed! May he Rest In Peace!
