es at family gatherings. He always went out of his way to make sure people visiting him in Florida were comfortable and had the best time. He loved spending time with his closest Friends Ron and Kelle Clark for whom he and Linda had many great times and memories especially on fourth of July every year. He was a free spirit who never liked to sit in place for long. He moved from place to place with his family ending up in Florida for nearly 2 decades before ending up back in Iowa for medical reasons. Steve loved his family both Mask and Hickson. He adored his wife. He cherished his children and Grandchildren by whom he was referred to as Papa (pawpaw) (Not Grandpa). He embraced life and enjoyed the little things impressing everyone who had the chance to meet him. His presence in our lives will be forever missed. However, there will always be joy and happiness when we think back on how he touched our lives. At Peace Cremation Services have taken place and Burial will be at a later date at St. Lawrence Cemetery, Otter Creek, Iowa.
