We would like to extend our sympathy to all the Steckle families as you grieve the loss of a dear family member, John. May you take comfort in sharing memories of your father, grandfather, brother or dear friend. John certainly persevered through many physical challenges and with few complaints. We were amazed that he still wanted to attend the Christmas Eve service this past year – a testimony of the importance of his faith in God.

Condolence from Pastor Roger Bitner on February 23rd, 2024 8:54 PM

It was my privilege to have known John for many years when he was involved with the Church of God in Eastern Canada. He served with us in many different capacities with wisdom and enthusiasm. He was a great worker and supporter of our campmeeting at Maple Grove in Thamesford. He and Marion filled various responsibilities during our week there. He was always positive and was an encouragement to me. We praise God for the service he rendered to the Lord wherever he was.
I know the family will miss him, but as we were reminded in the service today, it is a temporary missing, because a great reunion will one day take place.
Pastor Roger and Deanna Bitner, Fairview Church of God, Toronto

Condolence from Dan, Priscilla and Winston Finkbeiner on February 24th, 2024 11:49 AM

We offer our deepest sympathies for your recent loss.
