Marcelle and Del Smith posted a condolence
Saturday, November 3, 2018
Stephen Thomas was the only cousin of my brother, Alan, my sister, Pat, and myself. His mother, Dell, was the best friend of our mother and the sister of our father. In our youth, we knew little of each other as our only contact was his family's occasional visits to Canada. As we raised our families, and Stephen married his beloved Nancy, we increasingly realized how important our only cousin and his wife were to us.
After his and our parents had passed away, we began to contact each other more frequently. Stephen and Nancy visited with our families at our lake front home in Canada. After Del’s late wife, Peggy, had passed away, Stephen and Nancy welcomed him to a very recuperative visit with them in their summer home in North Carolina. When Del’s wife, Marcelle, and he began to winter in South Florida, the couples began to visit back and forth annually. This led to a delightful 2017 Smith Family reunion in Treasure Island, where all five of us were hosted by Stephen and Nancy. Blessedly this took place while Stephen was still strong enough to join in our activities. Stephen’s unfailing humour put us all at ease and added greatly to our time together.
We siblings and our surviving spouses, Marcelle and Tricia, have developed an increasing respect and admiration for our cousin, Stephen. Like our father, he was the model of a stoic and was consistently positive throughout the many overwhelming health issues he increasingly faced. We are proud that he was our cousin. We have the greatest love for Nancy and value the care she gave Stephen over a period of many years.
During our last conversation with Stephen, he expressed the hope that he would live to the age of 80. Stephen, you made it well into your 80th year. We will always remember you with heartfelt love.

Steve Thomas was a true gentleman in every way, and I was honored to know him. He was always impeccably dressed and groomed--some would say "dapper" and "dashing." Whenever we were together, he was always very attentive to the social graces shown to my late husband and me--yet he was not stiff or stuffy--just genuine. He was fun to be with! His knowledge of history, geography, language and, of course, music was beyond amazing. There was never a lull in conversation. Oh, how I will miss him! Steve Thomas was "one of a kind"!
