Stephen and Sue have lead a highly active life with their kids and grandkids. Stephen coached basketball, soccer, and mastered the art of building skateboard ramps. He also mentored many other kids in Sioux Falls who needed a father figure. Stephen was an avid college football fan and traveled to many games with his son Steve Jr over the past 20 years. The family spent their summers over the years in Crosslake MN and the country club where the kids enjoyed charging everything to Stephen’s account.
