Steve will also be dearly missed by many nieces and nephews.
Steve touched the lives of many students during his 25 years as an educator at Chatham-Kent Secondary School. He enjoyed his summers off at his cottage in Rondeau Park with his family. True to his Toronto roots, Steve was a passionate Maple Leafs, Raptors, and Blue Jays fan. In retirement, Steve loved to play pickleball with his friends in Lighthouse Cove and wintering in Fort Myers, Florida. What brought Steve the most happiness was spending time with his wife, daughters, and grandson Owen.
In keeping with Steve’s wishes there will be a private graveside service. Donations made in memory of Steve to the Chatham-Kent Hospice Foundation would be appreciated by the family.
