Stephen Gerard Saale

Steve was full of life, and he was blessed in so many ways. The world has lost a loving husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, brother-in-law, and friend. Steve was one of six children, boasted four children of his own as well as two grandchildren and he loved his family, especially his two grandchildren, Hatley and Hayden. He loved the outdoors and took pride in taking care of his yard and his home as he was a handyman in all things. He enjoyed fishing and was grateful to have property to take care of in Lake Shipman, IL, for over 30 years. He was an avid fisher, golfer, and he loved to travel. He took many trips with his wife and family, and he also took motorcycle trips with his longtime friends.
