Steve was an active and faithful steward of St Demetrios Church. His faith and love

of God remained strong throughout his illness. He could always be found cooking

lambs at the church festivals. He was a great friend and neighbor to all who were

lucky enough to know him. He was an avid sports fan and cheered for all the

Chicago teams (except the Cubs). He spent many years coaching soccer and

treated the kids he coached as if they were his own. He enjoyed cooking, especially

for his boys and their friends. He will be missed dearly by many aunts, uncles,

cousins, friends and all those that knew and loved him. In lieu of flowers, donations

in Steve’s memory to St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church would be appreciated.
