- Randy Steele September 13, 1961 - May 22, 2009. It's hard to capture a life in a few sentences, especially one that was lived as large as Randy's but here are a few highlights. In 1995 Randy started working at CH Television and went on to become one of the viewer's favourite reporters covering issues at Hamilton city hall and eventually producing his own segment "Steele's Town". In 2001 Randy was diagnosed with throat cancer. From 2003-2009 the cancer returned unrelentingly but with just as much force he fought back. In 2004, at the suggestion of a friend, Randy took up photography--it was the moment he went from being in front of a camera to being behind one. Randy took over 12,000 photos between 2004 and 2009. His love for his family, the cottage in Lurgan Beach, Kincardine, and the city of Hamilton are all captured with his passionate and artistic eye. Shannon, Carly, Keltie, Randi and I are very proud of Randy's photos and have chosen to share more of them with you. Enjoy! Maggie Steele February 2011.

Sam from Red Bank :-)
We never met but my wife and I still think of you, and the reports you did for CH News. The details that you showed of the City of Hamilton.
I Still think about how your work partly inspires my street photography project, and I come to your old blog from time to time for further inspiration. For all of these years, I've resisted leaving a message out of fear of drawing unnecessary attention to myself.
You did great work, and most importantly, I'm convinced that you were a profoundly admirable human being. Looking at what you accomplished in your life motivates me to keep trying.
God bless you Randy.
