Steve spent many days on our family farm or us cousins visiting their home in Welcome Mn. After they moved to Belvedere Illinois we had fewer and fewer visits until we remade visits in Az. He will be missed.

One of my oldest friends since the early 70s! I’m the one who pierced his ear way back then. So many memories and fun times! He will always be “Mr. Fun” to me. My deepest sympathy and prayers to you Jan.

While Stephen was in Minnesota to attend the funeral of Aunt Irene Lutterman, I picked him up at the airport and we stopped for lunch ( we both ordered walleye). After the funeral and time to go to the airport, he wanted to see the New Ulm statue of Herman the German, and the glockenspiel. When I visited Arizona we’d meet for a beer. As Minnesota Viking loyalists we endured watching the game they lost against the Bears. We also enjoyed their winning performances. He had invited me to his residence for supper. Another time he invited me to the Clubhouse, the staff referred to him as Mr. Gersch. Our genetic traits for BS was a bond. I will miss Stephen.
