Steve was predeceased by his wife Olga, parents; Michael and Anastasia Poholka; brother; Nicholas; sisters; Ann Symyrozum and Alice Adamic.
Steve loved farming, hunting, fishing, gardening, nature and playing crib and cards. He was known for his ability to fix almost anything and had a willingness to help family, friends and strangers. Steve greatly enjoyed time spent with family and friends. We will miss his big smile, laugh, great sense of humour and his generous and caring heart.
