Stephen and Josephine were married on August 23, 1952. After starting his career in Chicago, IL at Northern Trust Bank, Stephen and Jody and their growing family settled in Wayzata, Minnesota in 1961. Steve rose in business to be one of the region's most well-respected and successful money managers, ultimately heading up Fortis Funds and landing on the cover of Money Magazine. Steve will most be remembered for his great humor, gentle heart, and the enduring example he set for all with the love and respect he showed to his wife.
