Steve served in the Army during WWII. He was a past president of St. Vincent De Paul and past grand knight of the knights of Columbus. He was a logger and also worked for Ohio Match Mill in his younger days. He joined the Coeur d'Alene Police Department in 1958, working his way through the ranks and retired after 29 years in 1978 as captain. Steve had many hobbies, but especially enjoyed woodworking and tole painting. He was an avid hunter and liked to fish. Steve married Patricia Schwartz in 1964 and had he lived they would have celebrated 45 years of marriage in October.

He was expecting his sixth greatgrandchild in September. A sister, Verna Davis of Renton, Wash., and brothers Chet of Texas and Ira, Silver Valley, also survive him.
