He worked for Iowa Illinois Gas & Electric/MidAmerican Energy for 42 years, retiring in 2010.

He enjoyed cheering on the Iowa Hawkeyes, playing golf, washing the car (the car with the KAMI plates!) and playing euchre. Steve also liked to spend time socializing with friends and family and taking road trips.

Survivors include his wife, Kami; daughter, Fallon Stefani (Matt) of Evanston, Ill.; son, Jesse Greer (Adriana) of Iowa City; brother, Mike Greer (Judy) of Round Rock, Texas; sister, Sarah Bush (Art) of Dubuque; grandchildren, Sloan and Sydney Stefani; brothers and sisters-in-law, Kelli Rinderspacher (Ed) of West Branch, Barry Lenoch (Tammy) of Champaign, Ill., and Sandi Thompson of Wellman; as well as several nieces and nephews.

Steve was preceded in death by his parents; a sister, Kate Pohlman; and a brother-in-law, Steve Lenoch.

Steve's family would like to thank Dr. Berg from the Cancer Center and Iowa City Hospice.
