Born May 20, 1943 in Goldendale, Washington, Steven started work with ILWU Local 19 in 1965. He greatly enjoyed his time as a longshoreman. After his retirement in 1991, he continued to volunteer at the union hall and was instrumental in the ILWU Pensioner’s Club. He was also active in the Democratic Party. He was a member of the Sierra Club and donated his time to many local causes. He is survived by his two daughters, one son, twelve grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. His generous spirit will be greatly missed by all. A memorial service will be held Saturday, June 18, 2005, 12:30 PM at BONNEY-WATSON Washington Memorial Funeral Home, 16445 International Blvd, SeaTac, WA, 206-242-1787. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to ILWU Local 19 Seattle Pensioner’s Club, 3440 E. Marginal Way S., Seattle, WA 98134
My sympathies to the family of Steven. He was a fine gentleman. I worked with his father for a short time and also with Steve when he started on the waterfront. I could see was raised well by his father. They had many of the same good traits. It was a pleasure to have Steven on the job. We missed him when he retired but were glad he could enjoy retirement.
My condolences to the family.
I miss you Dad as do we all. From port to port and union hall. We lay to rest a man well known by all adults and babe ungrown. But behind you leave a song so true. We say Goodbye Dad. We Love You!!!
I heard of Steve’s death through my father, Curly McFarlane who was also a long time longshoreman and visited with Steve often at the “Hall”. Steve was a part of my childhood as we grew up together on 18th SW. We played together as very young children and attended the same schools. My sincere sympathy to his family and friends, peace be with you Steve.

You live on thru me and thru my children.The good times are still there in our hearts where they will be forever! I love you so much.. you gave me the kindness and goodness that I pass on to others. We all have learned many important things from you.I promise that my life will be something that you could have been proud of. Your family holds you near even if we cant see you, your all around.I love you Dad and miss you always!
