Donna - so sorry to hear about Steve's passing. We go back along way, Leaside High School and PW. We now live in Canmore AB. We were away in Patagonia when I received an email from Tom Irwin. Sorry I was not able to attend the service.

I met Steve in 1996 when I was enrolled in KPMG's executive outplacement program and Steve was assigned to me as my mentor and guardian angel. He was the perfect counsellor and coach, and helped me regroup and relaunch. Steve was kind, smart, funny and dedicated. One expects people like Steve to live forever, or at least for a very long time - so it came as a real shock to see that he had passed away. I am sure the lasting impression he made on me was not a singular event, so I can imagine that his many clients and friends and family will miss him terribly. I can also well imagine that his role as a wise counsellor continues on in another place.

May the many memories of wonderful times spent together carry all of you through this time of sorrow and loss. It is never easy saying goodbye, but I hope you will be able to take comfort in the belief that he will live on in all of your special memories of him. With heartfelt sympathy.

Dear Mrs. Cornforth, Ward, Jocelyn and Shelley, I'm so very sorry for your profound loss. When I think of your husband and father I am reminded of all of the wonderful times we shared together as families. Whether it was summers at Balm Beach where we first rented and you would visit, or later when you rented and we would visit, or later in Collingwood where we would ski together or celebrate New Years together in Thornbury, those were all good times, good memories! Through it all I think we all enjoyed seeing our fathers and the special way they interacted with each other. As they reminisced about "old times" or when they were kids like us, I could really picture them growing up in Leaside together. I will miss your dad, and your husband Mrs. Cornforth. He always made me feel very comfortable and "at home". I will miss him. Grant Cowan

Donna and family I am so sorry to hear about Steve. I first met him in 1989 when I was doing a career search and he was so supportive and provided a wealth of knowledge. In fact, within 4 months I had a new job- I was the newest PW consultant in his team, the HR and Outplacement Practice. A year later he was supportive of my move to the health practice with Neil Stuart and during my 5 years with PWC was always available to support and advise. I am deeply in debt to him for his wisdom, support and guidance. He touched many lives and will be missed Regards Bev

My heartfelt condolences. thoughts of Steve take me back 22 years when I used to think that Dale Carnegie courses weren't for me - until I took one from Steve. He was kind, inspiring, humourous, encouraging, practical, vibrant... well, I could go on. Suffice to say that we all adored him. He is a great loss.

To Ward, I was so sorry to hear about your dad. You always spoke of him with reverence and respect, and proudly shared many a story about him, mostly humorous. It is in this that he lives on in you and your sisters, and your (and their) children. We are thinking about you and Nisa and Holly, and your mom and sisters too. All the best, Michael and Nancy

Donna, Ward, Jocelyn and Shelley. I was very saddened to hear about Steve's passing. As well as being a man of character, he was a great character: very smart, with a twinkle in his eye, and a smile on his face, a gentleman. Please accept my condolences during this most difficult time and be comforted by all those wonderful times you spent together. Chris.

Ward, I always remember you speaking so fondly about your father and the relationship you enjoyed with him. I then had the opportunity to meet him a couple of times, and understood better what a special person he was. He has clearly touched many people on his journey, and I can only wish that his spirit lives on with you and your family. My condolenses and best wishes as you not only mourn the loss but also celebrate the wonderful mark your Dad has obviously made on the lives of you and your family. All the best. Nigel

Donna: We were very surprised to read of Steve's passing - our thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time. As you may recall, even though we were competitors (I was with Deloitte), Steve and I consulted with each other often and had a great relationship. We also have very happy memories about our trip to the HR Conference in California and Carmel with you and Steve back in the 70's. May your 46 years of memories help you through this challenging time. Regards Dave and Anne

Family of Steve Cornforth I was deeply saddened. today, to hear of Steve's passing. Steve was Personnel Partner at Price Waterhouse when I joined in 1970, and from where I will always remember his soft easy going way with people, as made all the new recruits comfortable as they adjusted to the "working world". While we kept in touch over the years, I was unaware of his recent illness and only became aware of his passing as I was asking about him today at PricewaterhouseCoopers. I'm sure his passing will be a great loss to you...he was a good man. His passing will also be a great loss to all of us who came to know him. We all lost part of our world on Friday. Please accept my heartfelt condolences in this time of sorrow. With Deepest Sympathy, John Simmonds Charlottetown Prince Edward Island

Donna and Family, My profound sympathy on the loss of a warm, funny, humble, witty and wonderful man. From the time of our first meeting 6 years ago, Steve always made me feel comfortable, appreciated, and entertained. In truth, he reminded me much of my father, but I never told him that. I am so sorry you have lost him - please know that he will be mourned and missed by many who valued him.

A soft spoken, humorous, gentle and comfortable friend with his head cocked ready to listen intently to anything you wanted to say, be it profound or gibberish: that is the Steve I shall always remember. Through years of university and professional growth together at Price Waterhouse in the 60s, Steve was a wonderful friend to me. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Donna and family.

Donna and family, Steve was both a real innovator in his HR approach at PW - in fact an innovator in the Canadian business world - and a partner with a great sense of humour and an eye for the silliness in our world. I still keep his list of the top ten things he would not miss about working in PW e.g. the damn time sheets! Natalie and I send our sincerest condolences to you on the loss of your (and my) partner and father.
