Steve was born April 17th, in North Battleford, SK., he grew up in a variety of places, as his father worked  for the railway and was required to move a lot.

Steve Jr. Remembers his dad as loving his family putting his loved ones before everything and everyone.  He was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather.  He never got to meet his grandchildren, but we are all sure he is looking down at them, and smiling “Dad liked to keep busy never liked to sit still he was a big junk collector. I can always remember having a yard full of car bodies and metal and odd things, he loved to tinker and always had a “project” on the go.  He loved his family this was something that always came first to him and something that he taught us all”

I came into the family three short years before he passed away.  He was a wonderful brother and like my sisters, accepted me right away.  During those three years we had a lot of quality time together.  He always smiled, and teased me just like we had been together for all our lives.  He would phone me and inform me that this was my favorite brother calling. (he began with that phrase to all of us sisters, we loved it)  When he passed away, Joan said that I had been cheated out of more time with him, but I wasn’t; I'm so grateful that we had three years together.  At his funeral the little hall was reduced to standing room only, He touched so many lives in his lifetime and everyone he knew was better for having known him.  I'm only sorry that my children didn't get to know him.  - Dee
