We are so sorry for your loss. Steve was a wonderful person who brought warmth, kindness and laughter into our mother’s life and ours too. He will always be remembered with love and gratitude.
My sincere condolences to the Previdsa family. As a close companion to my mother, I am grateful for the role he played in our lives over the past 25 years.
Steve was a dear friend, and I will miss him greatly and always cherish the wonderful memories.

So sadd to say goodbye to Steve, my mom’s companion for 25 years. I’ll always miss his voice at the cottage asking, “Is that a Donzi?” He’ll be missed with love.
I’m saddened to hear about Steve’s passing. He was a wonderful companion to my grandma (Jean), and became a huge part of our family. He was always happy to lend his knowledge of plants and flowers, his love for strudel, and his adoration of “chop chop” with our family. He will always be remembered and missed.
My deepest condolences to the Previdsa family,
Suzie
Brian and I are so saddened to hear this news. Steve was such a huge part of our family for so many years and such a kind and supportive companion for Jean. We will really miss him. Love Brian and Sherry
Steve was like a Grandpa to us- thoughtful, loving and very kind. He was full of heart and humor, “my favourite vegetable is pork”. We will miss you Steve, you were an important part of our lives. <3
I’m so deeply sorry to hear about Steve’s passing. He was such a kind, generous man who cared for all of us so warmly. He meant so much to our family and brought so much love and joy. We’ll always remember him with gratitude and he’ll be deeply missed.
With love and sympathy,

I’m so sorry to hear this news. Steve, I will miss you so much. I’m so grateful for all the love you’ve given us and our grandma. I’ll always cherish my memories with you, your humour, your love, the apple strudel, the French onion soup chip dip, and the rosettes wrapped in newspaper. You’ve been such a special part of our family and I love you so much.
We are so very sad to learn about Steve’s passing. Tom and I send our deepest condolences to all the Previdsa Family. We are grateful for the 25 years Steve was our Mom’s companion and the many times he spent with our family! Sending our love, and hugs.

Sending our very deepest condolences to the Previdsa Family and to Jean Ewing and her family and behalf of the Harris Family. Steve was a very dear friend to Don and Marie for well over 60 years. They shared decades of countless cherished memories together. Steve had a wonderful sense of humour, was full of fun, very kind to all and always interested in those around him. Steve will be missed by the Harris Family who all thought so highly of him. May God Bless Steve and all who knew and loved him. Diane Matheson (daughter of Don and Marie), on behalf of the Harris Family
Steve had such a special way of making everyone feel loved. It wasn’t through big gestures, but through the little things that meant so much — a box of rosettes or a giant chocolate bar wrapped in the comic book section with a funny note attached. He made us laugh, made us feel remembered, and always found a way to make ordinary moments special. He’s been part of our family for as long as I can remember, and I’m going to miss him so much. Thanks for being a wonderful companion to our grandma. Love you xoxo
Uncle Steve, Patrick and I are so saddened to hear of your passing. You were always a joy to be around and showed so much love to everyone. Say hello to your beautiful sister Mandy in Heaven. Our Condolences to your family and to Jeannie and Kathy and Ed and Linda and family. Heartfelt thoughts to all.
I’m so saddened by Steve’s passing and sending all my love to the Previsda family. Steve was like a grandpa to me and has been part of my life for 25 of my 30 years. He welcomed our big family with open arms, showed up for every special moment, and loved us all like his own grandchildren. I’ll miss him deeply but will forever cherish the memories – rosebud chocolates wrapped in newspaper, his famous dip, the strudels he’d bring to the cottage every weekend, his ‘accidental’ name spelling errors, his hilarious chirps and humour, introducing us to schnitzels at The Rhapsody, and lastly his favourite lake view in Barrie. Steve, I love you so much, and thank you for being such a meaningful part of our family. You will be so missed. xoxo
Sad to learn recently of Steve’s passing. Though many years have passed, the fond memories of Violet’s kifli and Steve’s laugh will always be treasured. Sending condolences to his immediate family and strength during this difficult time.
