"I was a high school and college friend of Steve. Played football and basketball with him. We were in the same fraternity at UNL. Lost touch with him after college.
I knew Cheryl and his brother Gary. Condolences to Nick and family."

"The past few years I've had the pleasure of getting to know Steve. He would ride along with me while I helped mow yards. His mowing days may have been in the past, but he still enjoyed riding along and feeling like he was still part of the team. I will miss his company."

"My wife and I have known Steve since 2018 when I begin mowing lawns with him for a lawn service owned by Garlan and Janice Janssen. Steve, even in these older years for him, worked strenuously, always putting forth great effort on many hot summer afternoons. I rarely ever heard Steve complain or speak badly about anything or anybody. He enjoyed watching basketball and football. He often walked 3 to 4 miles a day in his seventies. Steve was a payroll personnel for the Army in the 1960s, stationed in Germany. Steve was very organized even in his latter years and believed in the idea everything had a place and there was a place for everything. He was always very great full when I would buy him a soda or sack lunch. He was always thankful for the many things other friends and family help him with when he had some challenges. My wife and I will sadly miss Steve, along with others that got to spend time working, watching TV or walking with him. Best Regards, Floyd K"
