Stephen James KENDALL

KENDALL, Stephen James Dec. 24, 1954 - Jan. 29, 2008 After a brief battle with stomach cancer, Stephen (Steve) passed away in Winnipeg in the presence of his friend, partner and lover of 17 years, Glen Patrick Hoban. He is survived by his mother Louise Mary Kendall (nee Delahunty), his friends, and his co-workers at the Norwood Hotel, where he was a chef, many of whom were very fond of him. He is predeceased by his father, Frederick James Kendall. Steve spent his childhood as a 'forces brat'. His great loves in life were knowledge, learning, skill, books and the Divine. Stephen was one of the founders of the Winnipeg Pagan community in the late 80's. He spoke a few times on the Peter Warren show, and was for a time editor of "The Minstrel" magazine. He was writing a book which was to distill his decades of experience with the Divine.
