From Ken Liss

My deepest sympathy to Jami, Scott, Logan, and David. I am sorry for your sudden loss of husband and father.

I have fond memories of Steve. I would like to share a couple.

For the last few years Steve and I and sometimes others would go on a week long fishing trip mostly in remote areas of the north. Last summer Steve and I went to a Canadian fishing camp on the border of Saskachewan and the Northwest Territories. There were a total of fourteen people at the lodge, twelve of them I had just met.

One night during dinner we were told there was going to be a bonfire and everyone was welcome. When Steve heard of this he announced to the group in Steve Good style that he will host the bonfire party and provide open bar and cigars all around.

Great fun was had by all as you can imagine.

In the morning there was a bear at the camp fire site. Some say it was licking the beer cans and finishing off our drinks, but Steve knew better, he said that the bear was finishing the Cuban cigar butts we left behind.

One of Steves favorite TRUE fishing stories he would tell is the time noone at the lodge was catching any Lake Trout and we heard this day after day. On the last day of our trip, our guide took us to the deepest part of the lake he called the "honey hole". The guide told us to use weighted jigs, so we did this and nothing happened. After we consulted we changed our lures to pixies. All of a sudden we were catching one after another. After one hour we counted sixty Lake Trout caught. We enjoyed a tasty shore lunch of our catch followed by cigars of course.
That evening during dinner Steve told the group of our experience and you can imagine their disbelief. We backed up our story with pictures. Steve and I enjoyed a lot of attention that night. We conquered the Lake Trout at Milton Lake.

Steve thanks for the good times we shared together and all the laughs. Steve loved his family, friends and his work and enjoyed many adventures with many people. Steve, you will surely be missed by all.

Your friend and fishing buddy,
