I met Steve many years ago when he worked in Calgary.Steve arranged many member-member golf tournaments in Arizona and Wisconsin for his friends from the US and Canada.He would place the Rolling Stones logo on all of our golfing paraphernalia and after Hanna was born her name also appeared on the golf balls. Steve was a wonderful gentleman and friend and we will cherish the memories forever. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I had the privilege to work with Steve at a company in Calgary. Steve was a valued member of our Board and a true gentleman. Steve always came to the office with his laptop with a lovely picture of his family for a screen saver. He spoke of his family with great joy. Steve will be dearly missed by us all.

My daughter Mara and I send our sympathy to the family and to Hannah. My daughter had lunch with Steve and Hannah to talk about future career interests. I worked with Steve for several years and he was a gentleman and a thoughtful man who obviously loved his family very much.

Growing up down the street from the Inbusches, I spent a lot of time there…. it was so fun to be around a family with boys since we were a family of four girls….. Steve treated me just like a little sister…. picking on me just the way you'd expect an older brother to do!!! I have nothing but wonderful memories of the whole family. My heart is with each one of you.

Steve will be in our hearts forever. I am very proud and honored to Steve's friend and colleague. A fantastic colleague Steve was always full of humor, wisdom and great insight and nothing brightened his face than talking about his girls. What an amazing person! Steve, I will miss you forever.
