Will miss Steve dearly! I had so much fun curling with Steve and doing a few runs on the ski hill. Such a privilege to have known Steve, a real gentleman and good soul!❤️
Bill Roberts
This was such a shock, it's hard to come to terms with. Marilee, Kristin, Becky, you have my deepest sympathy. I went back to the family photo albums to see the grainy little pictures our dad took when we arrived in Canada as "wee" boys after the war. Many of them were of us in our short pants and Steve had his arm over my shoulder. I miss you big brother.
