John Stephen Strojan

I just learned of Steve's death today. I was heartbroken. We were very close for a period of time in 1982. Even tho we had not seen each other on,many years, I always had comfort knowing he was around someplace. He was an awesome guy.

I never met Steve but I remember his great play on the basketball court at Fife High School. I was in 4th grade when he was a senior. I knew his brother Vince (IMO the best basketball player ever to come out of our town) as he played on our driveway court a few times. Steve's team, however, was better.

My brother and I shared a love of sports with him and loved watching games with him and spending time with his extended family in the Tacoma/Seattle area.

We would have the best time with them, their family and friends. There was always a gathering at the farm when we were there. Steve had a big heart and always was ready for a laugh or...

Steve was a "tough and competitive man" I will always remember his GREAT basketball talent having received many elbows...GREAT guy.. God Bless .
