My deepest sympathies are with your family after hearing about the loss of Steve from his illness.  I worked with Steve at ICBC for many years and sure will miss all the stories of his travels, singing in his group, and just his everyday life.  His smile and great, happy attitude will never be replaced.

Gill, I was so sorry to hear that Steve passed away.  There are so many memories - my first assignment at BCH in 1981 when he was my patient team lead, the months on assignment in San Francisco, unskillful but enthusiastic racquetball matches, singing at your Christmas parties, and many more.  He was a wonderful friend, and will be sorely missed by all of us who were lucky to know him. I am very sorry I will be away on Aug. 17, but he will be very much in my thoughts.

I was so sorry to hear of Steve's illness and now his loss.  I worked for and with Steve at BC Hydro for many years.  He was my manager during an illness of mine and I was so grateful for the compassion and support that he provided me during that time.  Steve was one of the kindest people that I have known and I send my most sincere condolences to his family.

Condolences to Steve's family.  In the short time that we worked together at ICBC, we shared stories of New York, local theatre and musical performances.  Steve described last fall's Barbra Streisand concert in Vancouver as "the opportunity of a lifetime".

"So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were..."

I'm so sorry for your loss. I worked with Steve for a number of years at ICBC - he was such a nice man and always was a positive influence.

He will be missed.

Regards
Rita Ward

Sendng sincere condolences and prayers to Steve's family.  

I was a colleague of Steve and will never forget his gentle nature, always taking time to share a warm smile and kind word.

God Bless
