Sad to hear that Steve passed away. I remember meeting him at #1 Hot Mill when I started as a student in the early 1970's. He was always a dedicated and energetic worker. It was a great comfort to me that I could rely on him to help close down #1 HM before he moved over to Utilities. Over the years, he help developed some talented electricians who went on to a great careers at Dofasco.
Steve will be missed mostly by his family but also by his friends and co-workers. Rest in Peace, the fight is over.

We are saddened to hear of Steve's passing. Steve will be fondly remembered by the neighborhood kids on Elm St. as a man who never passed up on a game of hockey or a chance to go swimming. Steve was a fantastic role model for many. Rest In Peace "Reggie"

So saddened to hear of Steve's passing. My condolences to his wife and children and to all his extended family and friends. I have known Steve since our days in the North End and playing road hockey and touch football. We went to separate high schools, but again were together when Dofasco gave two young kids a chance. Our final years we worked in the same department until we retired together. It has been an honour and privilege to have known Steve and I will cherish all our memories. May you rest in peace my friend.

Really good guy, he played hockey with us for the #1 Hot Mill Canadiens.
A co-worker that would give anyone a hand. Always had a chat when we ran into each later in our careers.

I worked with Steve in #1 hot mill soaking pits. We had a great time, great group of guys. I learned allot from him. Willing to take you under his wing and share all his knowledge. And introduced to me the love of tywraps. LOL. Steve, you were a good mentor to me and because of you I learned to treat my apprentices the same way, with respect and willing to pass on all I learned.
Thanks Steve.
Rest in peace.
