Proud great-pa of Meaghan, Dylon, Justin, Amanda, Marrisa, and Jocelynn. He is also survived by his nephews, Ivan Jozefovics and Misi Sipos in Hungary, and cousins Zsuzsi Ackerman in the U.S, Agi Speiser in Slovakia, and Moshe Rotem in Israel. Predeceased in 2004 by Lili, his beloved wife of 66 years. In keeping with Stephen’s wishes, cremation has taken place, with inurnment at Little Lake Cemetery in the columbarium. Stephen’s gentle decency, cheerful disposition, and unforgettable being reached out to family and friends on three continents; to know him was to love him, and he will be sorely missed. Heartfelt thanks go out from the family to the staff of Princess Gardens for 12 years of tender loving care.
