Peacefully, on Monday, August 13, 2018, in his 78th year. Steve was the beloved husband of Diane (nee Coles, deceased). He was the loving father of Laura, Margot, and baby Nicole (deceased), father-in-law of John Valliant and Brad Boyd, and loved grandfather of Brandon and Cole Boyd, and Diana, Kathleen and Jacquelyn Valliant. Steve was the beloved big brother of Kathy Cornish, friend and brother-in-law of Roy Cornish, and is remembered fondly by his nephew Jeffrey and niece Jennifer. A proud graduate of the University of Toronto, and a member of Sigma Chi fraternity, Steve was a teacher and vice principal with the North York Board of Education, and a dedicated principal with the Peel District School Board. Steve was proud of his service with the Royal Canadian Air Force Reserves in his youth, and in later years enjoyed watching baseball, reading, studying history, and spending time with Diane at their cottage in the Kawarthas. The family would like to express their gratitude for the support and care provided by Thornbrook Home Care, Sunrise Senior Living, and the McCall Centre for Continuing Care. A private family interment has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Donations to Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children or to the Dorothy Ley Hospice would be greatly appreciated by the family.
