Condolence: I want to express to his family and friends my deepest condolences on Steve’s recent passing. I worked with, then for Steve and Iain in the early 80s. Steve never asked something of us at work he wasn’t willing or able to do himself. I always respected that about Steve, and it was one of the reasons he was great to work with during my stint with the company. God bless his family at this difficult time.

Condolence: You taught me well, were a blast to work with and a big support. My deepest condolences to Norma and your family. Christopher will look for you

Condolence: Norma and family. Our deepest sympathy to you all. Steven was, as you know, a well-loved man, generous and giving, humorous and easy to laugh. Aside from his famous "suitcase satay" story, let me leave you with another from the same trip (when we rented a lake-house to fish all week before an Eggfest in Virginia): We'd divided up the expenses and chores, and we were going to settle up at the end. Steven rented the boat and gassed it up, but refused to tell us how much it cost, and wouldn't let us pay for it. We tried to throw a little money at him for it, but I don't think he took it. And when I went around to collected the rented linens from everyone's room, I found Steven's towels and bedsheets still folded and in the bag, laying on the plastic covered mattress of the cabin we rented. I said "You didn't sleep without sheets and a blanket all week, did you?" He shrugged, and then laughed. He had. Wasn't exactly a priority for him, getting those sheets on and being comfortable. He'd slept atop the mattress fully clothed. Saved time, with us staying up late talking and getting up early to go fishing... We will miss him greatly. I hope in time the pain from this will diminish and be replaced by all the funny and more pleasant memories. There WILL be a time when we think of him and smile, instead of feel so sad. For now though, it's pretty hard to do that. We're very happy you two were able to visit us as well, in our home. Great conversation, and a great memory.

Condolence: Bri, Norma & Family - We were so shocked and saddened when we learned of your Dad's passing. Though I didn't really know him personally, Mady always spoke so highly of him. We were impressed by his thoughtfulness and culinary skill when we too were going through a rough time. The loss of a loving father and husband is immeasurable but so is the love he left behind. Wishing you strength for today and hope for tomorrow.

Condolence: So sorry to hear of the loss of Steve. Norma, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Condolence: To my son Kyle, Norma, Rodger, Brianna and family There are no words to describe the loss your are feeling. We can only send our love and support to all of you. Vickie and Craig

Condolence: My condolence's to the family. Steve will always be a great man to me. I am honored to have known him both on a professional, and personal level. You will be missed by many, fly high my friend.

Condolence: Our deepest condolences to Steve's family from Squires Service Cleveland Ohio - I first met Steve around 1985 at a factory in Mississauga - getting down and dirty on a welder -I was impressed by him then and have been impressed with his talents over the years- he will be missed by many - on both sides of the border.

Condolence: After so many years apart I had the good fortune to start to reconnect with Steve last year. These all too brief times spent together will always be precious to me. We were looking forward to more but it was not to be. My thoughts these last few days have been dominated by the many moments we shared and with sympathy the family and friends he has left behind. You were a real GEM Steve! Good night.

Condolence: Steve and I have been friends for over 50 years. We grew up in the same neighbourhood, attended College together, and have been business partners for over 35 years. We also spent lots of quality time together fishing, boating and at each other’s family events . Steve was kind and generous and truly my friend and I will miss him greatly

Condolence: I'll miss my good friend very much.

Condolence: Our condolences to Norma, Brianna and family. Stephen was a great guy, always willing to help. He was the Cdn statesmen for BGE providing guidance to ALL newbies. He encouraged us to participate, to laugh and enjoy ourselves. Instant friendship. We will miss him. Michael, Anke and family.

Condolence: Steve was a childhood friend from as far back as Ridgewood Public School in the 60's. We spent much time together with our BB-guns in the fields behind the then Nelson family home on Justine Drive (once finding a cache of stolen cases of large bottles of Coca-Cola.) Regrettably, I haven't seen Steve for decades. Sad news. My sincere condolences to family.

Condolence: Norma, Brianna and family, our deepest condolences on your loss. He will forever be “Little Steven” to hundreds of egg heads. The stories that have been shared this week between us all have brought tears and laughter to so many, just as he did in person. Please know our heart goes out to you all. Neil and Julie Mattison

Condolence: Norma and Family, Steven was always a great guy, caring, loving and always kept a smile on his face. I have always looked at him like a brother. I feel honored to have known him, and he will be missed in many circles. I hope that the outpouring of love from so many, helps to comfort you. Steven was a special guy, and I know he loved you all very much.

Condolence: Steven was a good friend through our Big Green Egg community. I was fortunate to have him attend my GA Mountain Eggfest in Hiawassee, GA in 2012. I also spent time with him at other eggfests in Atlanta and Florida over the years. My wife, Joan, and I used to take his sister, Paula, shopping with us in Melbourne, FL while we were at their eggfest, which she enjoyed thoroughly. I'm sorry to hear both of those dear souls are gone from us........missed, but, never forgotten~~!!

Condolence: Steve was a special friend in High School, I was always so impressed by his compassion for others. My deepest condolences to his family

Condolence: Steve, you are a special person. You were the first guy to offer advice and help when I bought a thing called a Big Green Egg. Like nothing I'd ever purchased before, I buy what I thought was just a grill and I meet amazing people. That was never my plan. It just happened. It's just weird how it turned out. We came from different places. Totally different personalities. Different in so many ways. But somehow, we were like Brothers the first time we met. Because of a grill. It's hard to explain. But Steve, you have many Brothers. I thank you for your friendship my Brother. We were not always close but I'm gonna miss you. Condolences to Norma and your family.

Condolence: Norma & family our deepest sympathies. So sorry for your loss.

Condolence: I simply cannot express my heartfelt sorrow of hearing of this news. I have known Steve for over 30 years and words cannot express my feelings at this time My thoughts and prayers are with one and all. He will be missed by all who knew him To know Steve was to love Steve

Condolence: Norma& Roger&Family So sorry for your loss. Our deepest sympathies.

Condolence: Our heartfelt sympathies to Norma and all of Steve's family and friends. We knew Steve for around 35 years, and consider ourselves lucky to have known him. A wicked sense of humour, and a kind heart. He will be missed... taken far too soon.

Condolence: Kyle, I am so sorry for the loss to you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. My condolences. May he rest in peace. Teri Hoo

Condolence: Our deepest sympathies to Norma and Brianna. Stephan was a special friend to many people. We met him through Big Green Egg. He was a great teacher and helped lots of people. Little Steve will be missed by all who knew him. RIP

Condolence: Our sincere condolences to the Nelson family during this difficult time. Steve was a great guy and awesome boss. I'm going to miss him and our discussions of all things in Maple Leaf land. Rest in Peace Steve. P.S. You think maybe you can give the boys an edge this year?

Condolence: Norma, my condolences to you, Brianna and the rest of the family. I cannot begin to imagine the loss of such a truly wonderful soul. Know that he was loved by so, so many of us, and always will be.
