Stephen M. Krogness ’53

Stephen M. Krogness ’53, of Wayzata, Minn.; Feb. 1. He was known to his friends as Krog, Kroggy, or Steve. He had a long career in real estate, both residential and commercial, and was most proud of the development of the planned community of Jonathan, in Chaska, Minn. He was a member of Bethlehem Baptist Church, Amateur Chefs, Ducks Unlimited, the Lions, the Minneapolis Club, and Woodhill Country Club. He enjoyed a good joke, spending time with family and friends at his 100-year-old log cabin Paradise Point, mushroom hunting, muskie fishing, duck hunting with his sons and grandson, and gardening, which provided ingredients that he used to prepare ethnic and exotic foods. He lived his life never complaining about adversity and always found a way to overcome challenges with a positive attitude and faith. He is survived by a daughter and son-in-law; two sons, including Mark ’80; two daughters-in-law; a grandson; and a brother.
