Steve was a member of our Board for 6 years. Not unlike so many of our members, it’s hard to articulate the commitment to the greater good that each individual has contributed.  After serving with Hamilton Police for 32 years, Steve continued to serve.  He was a husband, father, grandfather, volunteer, advocate, leader and friend.  

Steve suffered from health issues and instead of succumbing to them, fought them.  Realizing that he was not alone in his struggles, he supported others in their mutual battle.  Steve founded the Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) Support Group in Hamilton. With his leadership other groups have spread across Ontario. 

Steve continued to serve until his fight ended.  

Your contributions can’t be counted and your loss cannot be measured.  We lost a good one.  You will never be forgotten.
