I will miss my Skiathos friend. So many beautiful memories on a beautiful island have been engraved on my heart. Judy, my thoughts are with you and your family at this time. A wonderful larger than life guy, that’s who Steele was.

I feel very fortunate to have known Steele for many years, I admired his love for his family, his books and Greece. He has introduced me to many authors, restaurants and "not to be missed " shows and films'

Steele was such a busy man and yet always had time to make us feel special. I loved his optimism and he often told me how lucky we are to live in Canada.

He truly was a wonderful man and I will miss him very much. My heart goes out to Judy and all of Steeles' family, his death is a huge loss for everybody.

I first met Steele at 17 when he became my mentor, guiding me through high school and life‘s challenges. Over the years, he became a father figure to me—someone I deeply loved, admired and respected. Steele’s compassion and openness to people from all backgrounds taught me the value of kindness, acceptance, and integrity. His lessons will stay with me always, and I will do my best to honour his memory. My heartfelt condolences to the Curry family for their loss. Steele will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Steele and Judy have blessed The Salvation Army with their exceptional philanthropy for nearly 40 years. The impact of these generous donations has benefitted thousands of vulnerable people. Steele's mentorship of youth throughout the years has produced leaders in our community through his guidance and encouragement.

Steele had immense integrity and cared deeply for our community. His powerful drive to improve our world has elevated the lives of so many. The Salvation Army shares the sorrow of this loss of such a man of principle. He will be deeply missed and we pray for his family in their time of grief and loss.

Surely Steele is resting in God's tender embrace after a lifetime of diligent work and love for others.

Dearest Judy, Beau, Serena, Jack, Jade, Zephyr, Sabrina, John, Cole and.Julia,

Brooke and I were incredibly saddened to hear about Steele's passing. He was indeed larger than life. Steele was always looking for the positives in life and embodied the definition of true gentleman and citizen of the world. His charitable efforts were truly exceptional and he touched so many. We will cherish the time spent discussing the latest mystery novels, business endeavours, restaurants and of course updates on the western front! He will be sorely missed but never forgotten. You have our deepest sympathies and condolences.

Love,

Matthew & Brooke

Judy et al,

Love Brother,

Mark
