Steven A. Johnsen

My condolences to the many friends and family members who, like me, will miss Steve for so many reasons. Having been friends with Steve since childhood, his unexpected passing has brought back so many great memories of shared experiences, too numerous to count, as we moved through life growing up in and around Stoughton. Though I have been in Arizona for decades, I maintained contact with Steve, stopping to see him each time i returned to visit Wisconsin, and enjoying his occasional visits to Arizona for spring training baseball. The friend I knew as a child always maintained his wonderful sense of humor, quick wit, interest in life, intellectual curiosity, integrity, and honesty. Few people have made me laugh as consistently and as easily as he could. Now, with his passing, I find myself laughing in silence as I recall so many of simple and enjoyable moments a lifetime of treasured friendship brings. Phil Moeser Paradise Valley, AZ
