He graduated with a BA in English in 1980. While he was completing his BA, Steve pursued his dream of drafting at BCIT, where he achieved his Building Technologist Certificate, which he proudly displayed in his office. He began his career as a draftsman in Langley. He loved drawing houses and he was very fond of the custom designed houses he created for friends. In 1984, Steve moved to Prince George where he designed a home for his growing family in Beaverly. When jobs were hard to find Steve would turn his hand to anything. He taught drafting at CNC, sold water softeners, did security at a local store, and worked at Expo 86.

Steve worked at Woodpro Engineering for over 20 years, drafting first by hand on the board then on the computer. He was always fond of sharing work happenings during his years there. He loved Hockey, especially the Habs and the Canucks. he collected hockey cards, coins, stamps, comics, and books. Steve was an avid reader and was never without a book on the go. Steve also loved badminton, playing cards, visiting friends, and 60's music. He was a story teller and always had a corny joke to share and was interested in talking to everyone. He loved to travel and recently went to Mexico where he enjoyed the sand, ocean and the ruins of Chichen Itza. The ocean and beach were always home for him. He loved his family very much and never missed a soccer practice, parent-teacher night, or Christmas concert. We will always remember him for the love and respect he held for everyone close to him. The family would like to thank the nursing and medical staff at the PGRH ER for their exceptional care.

Liesbeth Emma Erna (Ballwanz) Pfrang December 8, 1920 ~ November 26, 2008 My Oma was born in her father's house in Dalow, Germany. As a young girl she had dreams of being a nurse, but her Mom wanted her to become a dressmaker. When Oma was 17, her Mom passed away. Oma then stayed home to take care of her three sisters and her father. She was a survivor of wartime Germany. She endured much and suffered many losses, including the death of her first baby (Heino), to starvation. On September 15, 1960 Oma immigrated to Canada with her daughter. The two of them settled in the Beaverly area of Prince George. In May of 1961, Oma married her husband Helmut Frank Pfrang. They later moved to Osoyoos, BC and then to Penticton, where Oma lived the remainder of her days. Oma loved her grand babies. She looked forward to our visits and her face lit up the room when she was with them. Oma would sing and clap her hands for them, just as she did for me when I was young. Oma, I can still hear you singing Hanschen Klein. It was our special song, and as you got older and were unable to sing, I would sing it to you. This is just one of my most precious memories. I miss you Oma. I love you. Forever in my heart, Heidi To love a person is to learn the song that is in their heart, And to sing it to them when they have forgotten. -Anonymous- CUNNINGHAM, Victor Robert (Bob) Born May 24, 1928 passed away suddenly at the age of 80 on Nov 28, 2008.
