Steven was born at Warspite, Alberta on January 7, 1921, and moved to Elk Point with his family in 1926. He attended school in Elk Point, loved hockey and baseball, and enlisted in the army for several years during WWII. He met and later married Doris Walton, a young nurse at the Elk Point Hospital. In 1945 he purchased the Arnott Dance Hall. It was renovated and became the Arrow Theatre which he operated for 42 years. In his spare time, Steve began collecting (everything from bird’s eggs to Fur Trade artifacts) and eventually built the Fort George Museum, which he proudly shared for 50 years. A significant contribution was his work with the Elk Point Historical Society in documenting and publishing several historical reviews of the Elk Point district.
Steve’s wish to be cremated has been honoured and a memorial gathering will be held at a later date.
