Dear Juliet and family -
Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of a wonderful man.
Though I only knew Steve online in our photography class, his exceptional photographs were inspiring and the knowledge he shared with an amateur like me was invaluable.
Only in reading his obituary did I realize that we had met in 2002 - he had very generously rented a piano keyboard to my small community choir and I returned to buy a keyboard for my personal use. Even in that brief interaction, I remember him as kind and knowledgeable.
He will be remembered fondly by those who knew him.

Steve taught me a great deal during my years with AIS — lessons, perspectives, and values that have stayed with me and continue to serve me well every day. He was always willing to jump in and participate in our events, bringing such a warm spirit, kindness, and sense of humour wherever he went.
I’ll always remember how incredibly good-natured he was, even when he found himself taking more than a few cream pies to the face for the sake of a good cause and making others smile. That was just who Steve was — generous with his time, his energy, and his heart.
I feel truly grateful to have known and worked with him. He will be remembered very fondly.
With fondness,
“JRob”
