STEPHEN GRODE

I worked with Steve briefly at Theda Clark. It was fun to work with him. as he took a straight forward view of things. A solid mind and good attitude.

I am so sorry for your loss I know how close you were to your dad you would talk about him all the time at Bristlecone I was lucky to have meet him 3 times he was a great guy to talk to was funny from my memories of him talking about you a I can tell you that man loved his son and it showed In all the love you gave back in return you guys were Buddy's no questions there and I can say he was proud of you just because of the love you passed on to your Family your daughters your wife and that means a lot to a parent so as you move on now never forget tell those stories all the time for that keeps the person still close to your heart when there not around just like are wing stories memories talked about make the days and weeks peaceful and if you catch yourself crying that's because you are only human and crying is good for your soul love you buddy your a gteat guy and one day maybe we can hook up and have a beer on your Dad.

So sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. I didn’t know him personally but graduated  with his wife and wanted to send my condolences to her and their family. 🙏🙏

In 2008 I was able to meet Steve and family plus all the other Grodes that were in Wisconsin. Traveled from California to Neenah with 1/2 sister Gerri Grode (Jerome was our dad) for get together and chance to see Wisconsin for the first time. Uncles Tut and Chris were still with us at that time and those 2 together were a traveling clown car to be with. Uncle Chris hosted a beer and brauts fest for family and friends. I feel grateful I was able to have had the opportunity to meet everyone. A little while ago I was on the phone with Chris, Mike and Jennie (Burke) 3 of Rinties kids and Jennie let us know that Steve had passed via a call from cousin Carl. Sending thoughts as you gather to remember and celebrate his life.
