Traits he learned in the Army such as tidiness and punctuality, attention to detail and the appreciation of lasting friendships followed him his entire life. A very devout man, Stephen was a member of the Christ Our Savior Parish (formerly St. Nicholas Roman Catholic Church) in Struthers where he was baptized and from where he shall receive his final blessing. He was a member of the Altar and Rosary Society and enjoyed preparing the church for mass as one of its many ministries. Stephen was the youngest of three children.

As a dedicated son, Stephen cared for his parents throughout their lives and remained in and maintained the meticulous family home that gave him so much pride. Stephen had very strong values and was well liked by everyone, mostly due to his gentle but determined nature. Stephen had incredible patience and made time to help others. He loved the outdoors, especially the view from his front porch on his large corner lot. An excellent cook, he was the host of the annual family Christmas Eve dinner and when he was invited to attend other family meals, he was the first to ask what he should bring. Stuffed cabbage was always a requested favorite. Stephen will be forever missed by his nieces, Karen Mettee and Laureen Quinn, and nephew, Thomas Quinn (Patricia).
