He started dating his sweetheart, Scarlett, in September 1961 and married her on

that his sweetheart imagine up & planned. Stephen retired from Bituminous Insurance
Company.

Kay, and granddaughter, Mason.
Stephen left behind his wife, Scarlett, daughters, Tawney and Michan and son-in-laws,
Robert and Mickey, his grandson, Stephen Raul, sister, Sue and brother, Dean and
many many many nieces and nephews.
Husband/Dad/Grandpa/Uncle/Brother/Brother-in-Law/Father-in-Law/Mr. Fixit/Mr.Safety
will be missed by so many.
No flowers necessary. There will be a celebration of life in the country around a bon-
fire. Telling stories about the old times like he liked to do.
