Steffen was born Nov. 1, 1948 in San Bernardino, Calif., to George L. Centlivre and Joanne A. Radaska (Raddick) Centlivre. He had many accomplishments throughout his life. From San Bernardino Sheriff Department, to his passion of being a Rescue/EMT firefighter on Fort Irwin Army base. He married Linda I. Gonzales in 1969. Of that marriage he had two sons and a daughter. He had a love for off-roading, model cars, motorcycles, California coast and rebuilding VWs to keep him busy. His ventures landed him in Iola to be closer to family in 2005. There, he began a career with the Iola school district as a bus driver. He loved being a bus driver, and cared for every kid that stepped onto his bus. He was very proud of all his grandchildren.
