    Steve, I will forever miss you and your quick wit and extremely humorous comebacks. You always made me laugh. I will remember fishing with you at Little Lake and also fishing for smelts in Lake Simcoe by canoe, what a laugh. You always made family get togethers unforgettable. You were moms go to guy for help around the house and I thank you for that. You raised a wonderful daughter, Marilyn and son, Ricky and you had the most wonderful wife, Lil. Your life was difficult these last few years but you always had a smile on your face and you were a trooper. Say hi to Gay, mom and dad for me. I will miss and love you forever.

    Uncle Steve was one of a kind. His sense of humour was unmatched. Some of my fondest memories of both childhood and adulthood family functions included Uncle Steve and his ability to make those around him belly-laugh. Love you Aunt Lil❤
