Strome, Stephen Wilmer It is with great sadness Steve's family announces his passing at the Ottawa Civic Hospital Campus on Sunday February 20th, 2011 after suffering a hemorrhagic stroke in Gatineau on the opening day of Winterlude, February 4th, 2011. Steve is remembered by his wife and best friend Wendy Drew, children James (Debbie) of Perth, Tammy (Clarence) Hofstee of Waterdown and grandchildren Tasha, Skylar, Adam, Mathew and Tristan. He was brother of Kelly (Terry) of Paradise Lake On, George of Waterloo and Cathy (Howard) Stone of Kitchener, uncle to many nieces and nephews and predeceased by parents Wilmer and Irene Strome. Steve was born on September 8th, 1941, raised in Kitchener and settled in Perth in the late 1970's. He enjoyed his retirement from the pharmaceutical industry. He loved to work around their country home, photography, playing golf, visiting Ottawa and travelling with Wendy. We will always remember his sparkly blue eyes, his sense of humour, his new Mustang and his kindness and generosity. Friends are invited to gather for a service to remember Steve's life to be held at 4:30 P.M. on Wednesday February 23rd, 2011 at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 15 Gore St. W., Perth. A reception will be held in the Blair & Son Family Centre immediately following the service. In remembrance, contributions to the Ottawa Hospital Foundation, 737 Parkdale Ave, 1st floor, Ottawa, ON K1Y 1J8 would be appreciated. Wendy sends her heartfelt thanks to Dr. Mohammed Bafaquh and staff in the Neuroscience Observation Area at the Civic Campus as well as friends and neighbours for their kindness and support.
