Employed at Pennsylvania Electric Motor Service since 1993. His boss, Joseph Pugliese, and other employees always referred to Stephen when there was a problem or question about a job. His years of experience and hard work meant he was the one to ask. His boss was always waiting for that knock on his door when Stephen would ask if he was ready to go to lunch. Joe also said that if it hadn’t been for Steve’s help when opening up the shop, his business would’ve never got off the ground. As hobbies, Stephen loved spending time with his grandchildren, taking them on long walks in the woods and catching lightning bugs with them. He also enjoyed golfing, gardening, hiking and camping, often staying up late at night to play cards with his camping buddies. He also enjoyed his pets and had numerous dogs and cats throughout the years. Married May 12th, 1973 at the Lake City Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Lake City, Pa.

He was an active member of the Cambridge Springs, PA congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Very active in door-to-door preaching and teaching work as well as an active member of the Regional Building Committee, a committee organized by Jehovah’s Witnesses to help build Kingdom Halls. He worked in the electrical department there mainly installing lights and exit signs. He also enjoyed joining in preaching in seldom worked territories, where a special effort was made to reach those who lived in remote locations where Jehovah’s Witnesses do not often preach.
