In his younger days he was a mighty hunter and fisherman. In his older days he could gossip and joke with the best of them at the Mattoon barbershop. He was often referred to as the "Mayor of Mattoon”. He enjoyed all WI sports. He loved his family, even the Republican ones and especially his children and grandchildren. He drove slowly. He wasn't in any hurry to get anywhere, but he was never late.

He served on the Shawano County Library Board and served a few years on the board for the Village of Mattoon.

In addition to his wife, Paulette of Mattoon and his mother Alice Steig of Osseo, he is survived by children, Kari Reuter (Doug), Brandon Bong, Jessica Spencer (Aaron), Ellisa O'Leary, Jon Radke (Sara), Dusty Radke (Samantha) and Katie Steig; sisters, Ellen Steig, Valerie (Steve) Lund; brothers, Randy (Peggy) Steig, Jerry Steig, Mike Steig (Nancy) and Greg Steig (Lisa).
