We are saddened to hear of Steve’s passing. He’s been taking my orders since I started my business over 20 years ago, and if we ever did your roof, chances are Steve was the one who handled it. I spent more hours than necessary at his desk, chatting and laughing at his wit and sarcasm. He was funny, genuine, and always top-notch at looking after his customers.
I’m grateful I had the chance to see him out on the golf course just a couple of weeks ago — that’s how I’ll remember him, in his happy place. Our condolences go out to Steve’s family, friends, and colleagues.
It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of our long time Sales Representative, Steve Gilroy.
Steve began his 40+ year career with us in the yard, but worked his way through the ranks to become the most trusted and respected member of our sales team.
Steve was humble, loyal, and fiercely witty. He was dedicated not just professionally, but as a father and grandfather as well. When not working, he was often found at the rink, ball diamond or links with his grandsons - time he treasured and talked of fondly. His other life long love was golf - if you didn't see Steve at the store during business hours, you can bet he was at the course!
Steve (I'll keep the rest of this short and sweet for you) - you will be missed beyond measure.
