Steve I still cannot believe you are gone. I never thought that last September would be our final visit. From traveling the country on road trips to days of working the night shift together or sharing a cocktail you were a good friend. My only regret is that I wasn’t able to come visit you sooner. It is with heavy heart that I say goodbye to you my brother. Until we meet again. Much love to you and the entire family. Go with god, you are at peace.
I am so sorry for the loss of a beautiful but misanderstanded soul! Cooking and loving food. Senseless death! Canada has many free programs for the mentally ill. Why not the States? Why was he gunned down by police? I love the entire Douris and McAndrew family. Stay strong. Prayers from Canada!
Our hearts go out to all of you. We will cherish the memories of years gone by, especially when all the kids were young!
I am so sorry for the loss of my friend. My condolences to his entire family. I had many fun times with Steve and many long talks on the phone and weekend visits once he and his family moved to Nevada. He was always a character. He was loved and will be missed.
SO SORRY LOVE YOU GUYS PRAYERS
