Theodore J. Steber Sr. passed away December 30, 2021, at home. He was 88. He was born March 11, 1933, in Worland, Wyoming, to Alex and Katherine Steber.

At the age of 18, he enlisted in the U.S Navy as a boatswain and a deep sea diver. He married Shirley Ann Dangerfield (Steber) on April 15, 1956. They were blessed with seven children.
