I grew up with Steve. Steve was one of my closest friends. I spent many an evening in the infamous Keller basement in Exeter, listening to music, occasionally (I confess) having a drink or two (even though we were underage). Much of my coming of age was with Steve. Discovering new music, much of it based on this brother’s record collection. My first time driving, and first time drinking. My first experience with pot. The Rolling Stones: Emotional Rescue stands out in particular. I learned every word of that album in Steve’s basement. And then there was Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, and I am almost embarrassed to say now, Ted Nugent. That music, that time, inextricably linked with Steve and our other friends. Steve driving without a driver’s license, and running the car up a telephone post wire (I know, the physics are hard to explain). I think it was a Chrysler Newport (or something very similar). Going to the Grand Bend drive in. Much of our summer days spent driving down the strip of Grand Bend – up and down, up and down. Steve, with his one arm sticking out the side of the car, the other hand on the wheel. Music playing loudly, I was there when he started dating Joanne (I couldn’t believe how lucky he was). A long quiet courtship. He was so nervous at first. I remember so clearly, one arm on the wheel, the other arm around Joanne. Gradually he spent more time with Joanne than the guys, but that was ok. He knew what he was doing. I moved away from Exeter and only reconnected with him a few months ago on Facebook, and I was so happy to see that he had these beautiful kids, and Joanne was there at his side. Steve: thank you for all those memories. I will not forget you.
I was so saddened to hear that Steve has passed away. I want to express my deepest sympathies to Joanne, Meghan, Curtis and the rest of his family. I first met Steve in Grade 8. We were roommates for our big Grade 8 class trip and became great buddies thereafter. My friend Frank mentioned ‘the basement’ in his condolence – I was also in the basement experiencing all those things with Steve :). My best album memory from Steve’s brother’s collection was Crime of the Century by Supertramp – one of Steve’s favourites. We had a great group of friends and there are so many amazing memories from that time, that it is really heartbreaking to recall them now. His whole family made us feel welcome – their home was our home. Steve was just the nicest guy, a gentle soul and wonderful friend. We recently reconnected and I had really looked forward to getting together again. Goodbye Steve and I won’t ever forget you.
Your friend,
Jeff
Joanne and family. I am so very sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. I have great memories of playing baseball with Steve with the Provincial Home Renovations team. They were great years. We have all gotten busy with our children and our lives, but I fully expected that one day we would all be together again. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
