Stephen was so helpful and patient with the SW8SS case managers at the Area Agency on Aging in Council Bluffs, Iowa. He will certainly be missed. His smile beamed through the telephone. He had a great sense of humor as well. He was such a blessing to those he assisted with computer challenges. WIth heartfelt sympathy to his family and friends.

My condolences to Cindi and the family of Steve Johnson. I grew up on Enos up the street from Steve and his family. His laugh and smile continues to be a fond memory.

I worked with Steve at Norwest Bank for over 20 years and we became great friends during that time. Steve was a gentleman with a great sense of humor and strived to exceed all of his customers expectations. He was a great listener and would always have good advice for any situation. He loved to play jokes on his coworkers. I know Steve had a strong faith in God and a great love for his family. I know he is up in heaven rejoicing. One day we shall all meet again.
I saw Steve again a few years ago while working at Nationwide. We corresponded a few times but did not get a chance to catch up.
My condolences to the family and friends. He will be greatly missed by all!
Sincerely
Ken Ingwersen
