My most heartfelt condolences to Steven's family. His upbeat nature made it such a pleasure working with him at Fio. He always spoke so lovingly of his family and the pride he had in his daughters was especially obvious. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Audrey, Carly and Pascale. I’m so sorry for your loss. Steven really was a unique, hilarious, generous and unbelievably loving person. I feel lucky to have met him . Thanks, Steve, for helping me and Audrey build that elastic band car for science class. It didn’t go as far as we wanted it to, but that was still the snazziest and coolest car on the block.

Pista (Steven), You were my funniest classmate at elementary school in Budapest. I didn't think we would see each other 50 years later in Toronto as we met 3 years ago. It was very sad how we met again today. My condolences to the family. My deep sadness is shared by our classmates in Budapest and all around the world.

The Klar Family (George, Dorit, David & Rachel) extends its sincere and heartfelt condolences to the entire Petes family on the passing of your beloved father and husband Steve Petes. We are beyond grief ....and sad to know his life ended at such an early age. He was a large presence in our daily lives....whether fixing things, discussing the current political landscape or technological trends , deciphering financial matters, or just comparing notes on family and friends. There is a hole in our hearts....but we thank God to have known him and to have had his constant friendship. He will be sorely missed. And every time I drink Scotch....a tear will flow down my cheek.
