"Steffy" Koszloski, 94, of DePere, Wis. and a former longtime Jessieville, Ironwood, Mich. resident, died Saturday, March 27, 2010, at Bellin Memorial Hospital in Green Bay.      He was born Sept. 3, 1915, in Wilkes Barre, Penn., son of the late Stanley and Josephine (Wawver) Koszloski, and came to Ironwood in infancy. He attended Ironwood public schools and graduated from Luther L. Wright High School in 1933. He then worked at the A&P Store in Ironwood and in area Civilian Conservation Corps camps prior to serving his country in the U.S. Army Infantry and Air Corps in Europe during World War II.      Following his honorable discharge, Steffy returned to Ironwood where he was employed at the Cohodas-Paoli Co. for 35 years, retiring in 1980.      He was a member of Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church in Ironwood and sang in the men's choir for many years.
