Steve "Sunshine" enjoyed his cross country travels in his truck and found his dream job fulfilling. Over the years Steve played baseball, basketball and football and was an avid Packer, Nascar, Brewer and Badger fan. He looked forward to sitting at a card table with his siblings, nieces and nephew, and will always be remembered as being a character, creating laughter everywhere he went. He will be greatly missed at our card gatherings. Steve's sense of humor was appreciated by all he knew and remained with him even up to his final goodbyes. The time spend cuddling with his grandchildren was dear to his heart. His children state, "You are our dad, our hero and we love you beyond words."
