Our sincere condolences to Steve Jr., Heather and your families. Your dad was a wonderful person. We shared a lot of laughs and great times with him at the river. His infectious laugh will be truly missed by the trailer neighbours.

Our sincere condolences to the Sparks family. The world lost a good one. Trudy Kernighan and Dan Burns
My deepest condolences to all of the family. I will miss his laugh wafting down to my deck from yours. The day before we had a lovely chat when he was returning the lawnmower back to Brian’s. The chat included a little gossip, a little about the surrounding “wildlife”, a few loud laughs and a little remembering of Bruce and of course Joan. He was a kind, mischievous, lovely neighbour who will be missed in our little neighbourhood.
Sending our sincere condolences to the Sparks families. Steve will sure be missed by all whose lives he touched.
My condolences to the Sparks family for your loss.
Steve has been a friend for so many years. His infectious laugh made any occasion so much more fun.
He will be missed. R.I.P.

Heart-felt condolences to Steve’s family on his sudden passing.
Great memories of time spent making Boomerang’s interior so special for Sparky
and getting to know & enjoy him over the past years.
Thank you, Steve, for leaving me your rhubarb patch which supplied you with your
favourite pies. I’ll sadly miss baking them for you but will think of you when it’s
rhubarb season! Rest in peace with the love of your life, Joan!
To the SPARKS family:
I know that Wayne is standing at the Pearly Gates welcoming Sparky with open arms.
Heaven will never be the same again!
Much love Julie Palmer-Sarson
Our deepest sympathies to Peter and Joan, Linda, Tim and Brenda, and the entire Sparks family. Since we live out of town we had not seen Steve in some time. He came to Mom’s service and he was exactly as we remembered him – smiling and able to bring a smile to us. We will always carry that memory.
Our condolences to the Sparks family on Steve’s passing. Sorry for your loss. Barbara and John Morrison.
We were deeply saddened to hear of Steve’s passing. As a long-standing customer of Maitland Valley, he was not only a valued part of our marina and trailer park community but also a truly lovely person to deal with. His presence brought warmth and kindness to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. We are grateful for the many years of connection, and he will be missed. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and loved ones.
