I was a childhood friend of Steve and am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. I have so many wonderful memories of Steve, his mother and father (Ali and Lodge) and his siblings (Kelly, Terry and John). Even as a young boy, Steve had a magnetic personality that peers and adults alike gravitated toward. He was great fun to be with and he had many mad passions, including horror movies, pets (Kool Kat Kuz, Lorne the rabbit), and Johnny Cash, before Johnny Cash was cool! And he was bold; not one to let “the rules” stand in his way. I remember when the box office attendant at the Roxy Theatre told eleven-year-old Steve he was too young to buy an admission ticket into see the horror movies he just snuck in to see the movies instead – week after week!
I did not keep in touch with Steve after high school, but would hear his news from time to time. My condolences to Ingrid, the love of his life and wife, and their children, Courtney and Christopher.
