brother-in-law Dr. James (Maria) Kennedy, numerous nieces, nephews, and many close friends that were like
family to him.
Stephen graduated from Norton High School and the University of Akron, and enjoyed a career working as a
surgical assistant at several hospitals. Stephen and Kathy lived in Hinckley Ohio, Louisville Kentucky,
Northbrook Illinois, and in 2019, moved and retired to Loudon, Tennessee, as part of the Tellico Village
community. Stephen enjoyed fishing, golfing, hiking, camping, home improvement projects, and especially
spending time with his family and friends.

(“Stephenize”) anything. Stephen will be deeply missed by Kathy, his loving wife of nearly 40 years. A selfless
man with many talents, he will always be remembered as a loving husband, brother and friend.
