We Remember Them. At the rising of the sun and at its going down, We remember them. At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of Winter, We remember them. At the opening of buds and in the rebirth of Spring, We remember them. At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of Summer, We remember them. At the rustling of leaves and the beauty of Autumn, We remember them. At the beginning of the year and when it ends, We remember them. As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us, as we remember them. When we are weary and in need of strength, We remember them. When we are lost and sick at heart, We remember them. When we have joys we yearn to share, We remember them. When we have decisions that are difficult to make, We remember them When we have achievements that are based on theirs, We remember them. As long as we live, they too shall live, for they are a part of us, as we remember them. With Deepest Heartfelt Sympathy and Love

Sheila, Laura, Craig and families. We were so sorry to hear of Steve's passing. Although the visits were few since our youth in Hartland when we would 'hang out' together and especially the summer at the 'Green Onion' in Frederiction prior to his trip 'up the road' to St Catherines, I'll always remember Steve as a good natured and jovial friend. Our sincere condolences to you and his extended family at this difficult time.

I met Uncle Stephen once many years ago, and wish my husband and I would have been able to connect more with mom's family over the years. But even though we are way over in Calgary, the sadness is no less. My tears are real and I mourn with you all. Sheila and family please know that there is love pouring out for you all over this country. Uncle Stephen we love you and will never forgot, as you have a place in all of our hearts always and forever.

In memory of a wonderful brother and a handsome brother-in law and terrific uncle and great uncle this is what we lost when Stephen passed .He was not just a family member but a real fiend who was always there for us and he was just a phone call away.We know he is rejoicing with his brother Allen and his Mom in a great reunion in the sky.We had many vacations with him and Sheila and the childreen and have many wonderful memories to hold on to at this time.We have visited back and forth between NB and Ontario since 1977 when they lived in St.Catherines and then in London . Sheila we know your heart is breaking and you don't know how to go on but look at your children and grandchildren when you miss Stephen and you will see him in their smiles and the way they move and do things or in something they will say. We hope you can take refuge in this thought and be able to smile again. To Craig and Laura we know you lost a terrific dad but hold on to your memories and each other and love Mom and your families the way Dad would want you to.

You are all in our prayers and we wish to let you know that our thoughts and hearts are there with you. I believe that brother Steve is with Mom in that Heavenly home and someday soon we will join them there for that glad reunion. In this I take great comfort. My memories of Steve are many and this is what will keep him forever in my heart. May the memories that you all have of a loving husband, father and grandfather keep him close and comfort you in the coming days.

Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one's gone. Those we love can never be more that a thought apart. For as long there is a memory, they'll live on in our hearts. Uncle Steve was a wonderful man and will truly be missed. I will always cherish the fun times we had and his joking nature. So many memories will remain in my heart from family gatherings growing up, to going on vacation with him for our wedding in the Dominican. My friends and I still laugh at the good times we had with him in Punta Cana! We called him the "Paparazzi" because he was always there in the mix of all the fun, making sure to get a good photo. Lots of love and prayers go out to Aunt Sheila, Laura, Craig and the rest of the family during this time of loss.

My condolences to the Rideout family . I had the pleasure of meeting Stephen shortly after he transferred to the ministry's southwest regional office in London and worked with him various times afterwards. Stephen's positive attitude and professional work ethics shone brightly always.

Tim Rideout posted a condolence
I will miss you, Uncle Steve. I have such strong memories of your big goofy smile. You would always have it on just before imparting your wisdom on this nephew, usually in the form of a joke, and always loving and pertinent. We would both laugh, then you'd give me a wink and I'd go about my business with my cousins. I will always cherish the memories I have of you and our family visits. Keep on smiling, Uncle Steve.

Dear Cousin Shelia and family we are so sorry for your great loss of a wonderful kind loving man. He was such a good person always with a beautiful smile on his face and laughter and joy in his heart. I will always remember the wonderful years we shared growing up together and having wonderful times and many laughable moments. The pranks we pulled and the secerts we kept are treasured and will make his memory more dear. I was so excited and pleased when I got to met you and steven at tim's a couple of years ago that was the first in 40+ years that I had seen him. He looked the same then as he did when we were growing up with the twinkle in his eyes. I hope we can stay in touch as family. I feel your loss for it is with a deep sadness that Steve and I found each other as lost cousins only to loose again for awhile. Our prayers go out to you Shelia and your family.May God keep you in his arms and give you the strength to go on as Steve would want you all to do. He was a loving man not a shelfish man only wanting the best for his family. I know his love is a legacy that he instored in all of you. Our love from one cousin to another be with you in the days ahead and if in time you would like to send a note my way to tell me how you are I will treasure it. Love and Prayers to all Cousin Ruthie and Archie Stairs.

Just think of the Party when all the Rideouts Join You. Fred & Alice

Tim Rideout posted a condolence
My most vivid memories of Uncle Steve were of him being the guy who would magically appear while you were talking with the rest of the gang during morning coffee, or at a family reunion, like he just was hiding inside a wall or something - you'd turn around and he'd have this big grin on his face, because he'd been somehow listening to you everything you said. Then he'd start off with, "Now Tim - you know that..." then make some kind of comment on what you were discussing, then everyone would laugh, and then he'd like, just kind of morph back into the decor... It was hilarious, but in a sort of subtle way. I didn't realize it how much until now because his presence was greater than what you could notice at the time. Somehow, the whole being of Steve was greater than the sum of its parts, if that makes any sense. It's funny - my Dad commented on how we didn't seen Steve *that* much during my childhood - but I have such vivid memories of him, Aunt Sheila and my cousins Craig and Laura.
