At the age of 20, Steve enlisted into the Air Force where he served in the Vietnam War. He served in a MASH unit while stationed there. As a result of his service the G.I.

Steve was loved and admired by all folks who worked for him, and all the health care workers that cared for him as his health deteriorated. Steve was a huge fan of his grandchildren (and children), the Huskers (even when they lost, which is often), his loving wife and his chihuahua, Cash, who spent hours on his lap over the past few years.
