Leo's favorite pastimes were fishing, attending NASCAR races, Packer football, and chasing his seven grandchildren. He owned and raced harness horses with his brother, 'Pete', out of the Arch-S-Golden racing stable. He loved working in his restaurants and was known for his expertise at the french fry station.
The family would like to give a heartfelt thank you to all of the caregivers at the Clarissa Cook Hospice House and Genesis health care. And special thanks to Nicole, Rachel, Sue, Woody, Tami, Jen, Little Pam and Drs. Raj and Bindu Alla.

Sampson, Alyssa R. Ryan, Rule T. Laing, and Ever C.T. Laing; one brother, Harold 'Pete' Steinke of Davenport; and his favorite dog, Stanley.
