Our hearts are so very sad over this ….my wee cousin Uncle Chic and Aunt Pats boy. Thinking of all the memories gone by…his cheeky grin, his deep voice before he grew into it, his love of cars and hockey, his hang out basement full of his trophies and more trophies, his never ending list of good pals, the brilliant fun times he and Diane enjoyed who Uncle Chic would pick up anytime anywhere to ensure they got home safe, his huge family picnics in Hamilton and Oshawa that we were always included in. our wee private chats while sneaking out for a cig here and there, his calm his manner, his buying his first wee home with pride and hard work, and most importantly seeing and being a part of his lovely family growing up and now . We love Steve simply put ” a good guy ” always in our hearts and prayers God Bless him and everyone he loved, Sincerely Eileen Joe and the boys xx

Sorry for your Loss Jennifer and family
Words can’t describe my utter shock and disbelief that Steve passed away. It hits home like a ton of bricks that we are here only for a short while. Steve was a great guy. I will miss his laugh, his dry sense of humor, and his gentle kindness. He was passionate about everything he loved and enjoyed. His pets, his garden, his motorcycle, and most of all his wife, family, and friends. Save a seat at the poker table for me pal. Love and respect.
