Peggy and Malec family, I'm so sorry for your loss! We had a great crew at Belleville Shop n Save, and I miss all the great times we had at work, and sometimes meeting up and having a few drinks. You all are in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.

My cousin Steve and I were good buddies when we were kids. I got to know him again in recent years. He was a great guy with an easy smile and a quick sense of humor and irony. Kind. Solid. I'll miss him. We'll all miss him. Linda and I send our very best thoughts, wishes, and condolences to Peggy and all his close family.

Steve was a very righteous human being. I had the pleasure of being a 534 member for over 10 years under his representation. In that time I got to know Steve not only as an individual, but as a friend. Always enjoyed having a "cold 1" with him and the "locker room" chats. My thoughts and prayers to all his family, friends, and all others he touched in his life. Remembered by many, forgotten by none. Rest in Peace my friend.
