My condolences to the Genser family. I have known him for ten years and he certainly has been a memorable guy. I was supposed to see him in my last visit in Vancouver, wasn't well enough to meet late January 2012 and spoke to each other just merely days before his death. I tried calling today and both lines disconnected and found this page via online. - Posted by: Katrina (friend) on: Apr 04, 2012

When I found out about Steven, my heart sunk. Although I had not seen him in a very long time, his face, and his laugh still are with me. I go way back to my visits to Winnipeg, from Grand Forks, and to Winnipeg Beach. His memories will always be part of my make up. I'll miss you buddy !!!!
