STEPHEN "STEVE" PROCISE

STEPHEN "STEVE" PROCISE, of Waupun, Wis.,passed away on Tuesday, Dec. 15,2020, at home surrounded by his family after a long battle with cancer. Steve was a proud graduate of South Side High School and Ball State University. He spent his career in sales, eventually starting ProMotions Plus with his brother and best friend, Fred Procise. Steve loved golfing. His love of golf started early from time spent at this grandparents' golf course, Fairview Golf Club and as a caddy for the Ladies PGA at Orchard Ridge Golf Course. He was always happiest when on the course or planning his next round of golf. Steve had a love of books and reading which led him to become a board member at the Waupun Public Library for many years. He was an avid cook whose specialties included BBQ Ribs and the most amazing Bolognese sauce. He was always quick with a smile or a hello. He was a people person who made friends wherever he went. Most people who knew him have a story or two that can be told and few stories that can't. He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Virginia (Salisbury); three children, Shelley Hoernke (Dave Miller), Sean Procise and Susan Procise (Andy Trewyn); eight grandchildren; and three siblings, Fred (Marie) Procise, Dian (Denny) Eiler and Jane Geist Procise. He was preceded in death by his mother, Maxine (Campbell) Davis; and stepfather, Kenny Colbert. A celebration of life will be held when the weather turns warm, the grass turns green and the golfers are on the course. In lieu of flowers, the family would like everyone to share a story about Steve with them. Donations to the Waupun Public Library, 123 S. Forest St., Waupun, WI 53963 can also be made in Steve's name.
