Apologies for the lateness of this post.  We were unaware that this thread existed until recently.  Thank you to everyone who posted for your kind words about Steve.  He was indeed kind, smart, interesting, witty and talented.  He was a great brother, son, friend and most importantly, father.  Always willing to go the extra mile for anyone.  He was the type of guy that you could have any type of conversation with and it would be stimulating and humourous.  He was fun to be around, we had many good nights around the campfire on our annual summer camping trips with Steve and Cameron.  No one knew where the conversation would lead and that was part of the joy of being with such a great guy.  He touched many people's lives with his enthusiasm and love of life.  As you noted in your posts, we are all better people for having known such a fine human being.  His spirit will live on in our hearts and guide us in our lives. Be happy Steve, be free.....
Sincerely,

Stephen Strathdee's Family
