Mr. Stevens loved sports, especially Gopher hockey. He was an avid hunter.
He always wanted to fly a plane, but instead he saw men land on the moon.
Mr. Stevens always had a smile and a story, and loved telling anyone his latest joke. He said "there are only so many beats in a heart," and he had his last one on Friday.
He is survived by his sister, Rose Busker of Wadena; daughters, Jacqueline Wright of Brooklyn Park, and Mary Robinson of Osseo; grandchildren, Michelle (Darren) Gens, Luke (Kari) Wright, Hollie Robinson, Jessica (Allen) Ronngren, Nicholas Robinson, and Chelsea Robinson; great-grandchildren, Alex, Gavin, Kristina, Makayla, Tristan, and another due in March 2005.

He was loved greatly and will be so missed. A grateful "Thank You" to all the special people at Northridge Health Care in New Hope.
If so desired, memorials may be given to the American Cancer Society.
Interment will be at Calvary Cemetery in Wadena.
