Stephen was a graduate of Chief Logan High School. He retired from Standard Steel after 49 years of service.

He was a dedicated sports fan, his heart filled with the thrill of competition. He had a passion for classic cars and eagerly anticipated each year’s Carlisle Car Show. He loved spending time at his camper at Shoop’s Campground.

The family extends its deepest gratitude to Advantage Hospice and their staff, Kim, Ally, Kandice, Jennifer, Dan, Brittany, and Beth for their compassionate and exceptional care during Stephen’s final days.
