His legacy will be forever remembered in the hearts of his 11 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. He is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. He was predeceased by his parents John and Maria; brothers Paul, Bill, John and Michael; sisters, Jean Andrews, Ann Nelson and his favourite sister Pauline Budinsky. Steve was born in Komarno, MB and attended school in Rembrandt, Komarno and Teulon Collegiate. He served in the Canadian Navy during the Second World War and upon his return he worked at Canada Post. After retirement he worked for the Corps of Commissionaires at Chippewa Barracks, which he really enjoyed. He was a proud member of Legion #141 for many years. The family would like to thank the staff in the emergency department at Health Sciences Centre for their care and compassion. A Celebration of Life will be held on Tuesday, December 13 at 10:00 a.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street with Rev. Fr. Peter Chorney as officiant. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Steve's memory to the Multiple Sclerosis Society, 400-141 Bannatyne Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3B 0R3. Should you go first Should you go first and I remain to walk the road alone, I'll live in memories' garden, dear, with happy days we've known, In spring I'll touch the geraniums red, when fades the lilac blue In early fall when brown leaves fall, I'll catch a glimpse of you. Should you go first and I remain, one thing I'd have you do: Walk slowly down that long, lone path for soon I'll follow you, I want to know each step you take, that I may walk the same, For some day, down that lonely road, you'll hear me call your name. CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL 586-8044

I left the Winnipeg Post Office in June of 1972, so it has been a long time since I had last seen him, however I do remember Steve as one of the most friendly, warm and nicest people I had ever met. My thoughts and prayers to the family at this time in their lives. Bob Olien, ( forward mail and parcel post sections 1961 - 1972 ) - Posted by: Robert Stephen Olien (Co-Worker) on: Dec 12, 2005

My sincere and heartfelt condolences go out to Ann and family. I grew up with the both of them in Komarno. I was part of the group that was playing in the gravel pit that discovered an old human skull. Steve took charge and called the RCMP. It turned out that it was an aboriginal skull that was eventually put on display at the Komarno School. I do not know what happened to it after the school was closed down - Posted by: Adam Bodnarus (Acquaintance) on: Dec 11, 2005
