KENNETH AUBREY STEIMAN
July 3, 1941 - January 7, 2021
Until recent years, he made an annual trek to see friends and family. Ken is survived by his brother Bob (Dee); nieces, Michelle and Susan (Farhad) Shadan, many cousins and close friends. Ken never married or had children but was a great Godfather and helped raise Alexandra and Aaron Halprin.
Ken's working life started at the River Heights Community Centre in Winnipeg. It was his favourite job. He was also a Roast Master at Eaton's and cooked in the Canadian Armed Forces- stationed in Germany, a cook on the tugboats, going up the coast of British Columbia, and finally a custodian for the Delta School Board.
Ken loved to golf and was able to do so until a few years ago. He also enjoyed getting together with friends. Dim Sum was his favourite going out food. Ken was known for his desserts, his Tunnel of Peaches and Carrot Cakes were often requested at gatherings.
Ken was quiet, funny, and had a smile that lit up a room. He would do anything to help anyone in his circle that needed it.
Sadly, Ken spent the last few years in a care home. His health issues made it impossible to keep him safe at home. In the end, he died after a brief bout of Covid 19.
Ken will be missed by everyone who knew him and loved him.

Kenny and I were cousins but also good friends for all of our adult lives. Or friendship began when I was twenty years old, Kenny gave me a ride to Toronto when he was on his way to Montreal where he was stationed with the Canadian Army. We kept in touch and got together whenever we could. When Kenny moved to Vancouver I would regularly visit him and go for Dim Sum at the Pink Pearl. Likewise whenever he came to Winnipeg we would get together. Kenny will be missed by our whole family. Condolences to his bother Bob and Family and to Kenn's lifelong friend Dave Halprin and family. - Posted by: Rodney Steiman (cousin) on: Nov 03, 2021

Ken was a true friend who always liked an adventure. Like the time he drove his car onto an ice rink and did 360's around and around the rink. I wish I knew he was on the West Coast. I would have loved to have met up with him. Our family extends our greatest condolences to the family as a whole. Arthur + Janis Ross - Posted by: Arthur Louis Ross (friend) on: Mar 02, 2021
