MAY THE THOUGHT OF KNOWING THAT FRIENDS AND FAMILY SHARE IN YOUR GRIEF BE OF COMFORT TO YOUR FAMILY.PLEASE READ PROV 17:17

I've known Steve for many many years. My husband has worked with him up until Steve retired. Friend, rest in peace.

I am deeply saddened to hear about Steve. He was a kind and gentle soul,  someone very special.  My sincere condolences to his family.

you were always the nicest guy, always kind and so talented. Heaven certainly gained an angel with you Steve. God bless you and your family, RIP Sir!

Terry and Family,
I am so sorry to learn of the passing of Steve. I remember both of you from Camp Marcella, a place that will always remain close to my heart. I remember Steve's beautiful music and know that the angels are singing together with Steve in heaven. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

Steve was a treasure, and will be greatly missed.  His musical talents were well known, and made a deep impact at Picatinny.  The comments on this tribute page show Steve's influence on a very wide community, including his church family and all whose lives were touched by Steve.   Eternal rest grant onto Steve, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.  

I worked with Steve for about 4 years. He was a wonderful and caring man. He always made time for me if I had a question. I wish you my condolences and will pray for him several times daily.

Terri and Family, Steve was respected and loved by so many of us.  He was
an inspiration to us all.  God be with you in your sorrow.

Oh! So many memories. I pray for you all and send my deepest sympathies.
Kathy Barnhart

Always loved the beautiful music that Steve added to our liturgies at St. Kateri.   Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Myself and my family never had the opportunity to meet Stephen, however, we were blessed to be present during services at St. Kateri each Sunday and to hear his music. Thank you Stephen for bringing beauty and joy to each Sunday and we pray that you are in God's hands in his special choir. Our condolences to his family for your loss.

When I came to the Picatinny Garrison over 5 years ago, Steve was the light in my tunnel - he listened, gave advice, sought & gave assistance - he was not only my voice of reason but all he interacted with - he truly was a gentleman & a shining example of a Federal employee, we who are, should want to emulate. 
I am saddened at his loss & wish his family strength at this devastating time.   He will always remain in my prayers with fondness & gratitude - Angela Catania

Steve was musical director of the Picatinny Chorus, at Picatinny Arsenal.  As a member of the Chorus, I learned so much about music.  I will miss this talented gentleman.

Sorry to hear that Picatinny lost a great guy.

I called my daughter, Jessica, this evening to tell her the sad news.  We reminisced about the times we sang along with Steve at Spaghetti with Santa and the times we were so fortunate to have him as a passenger in the car on our way to Picatinny.  On one occasion she was rat-a-tat-tatting on a Fisher Price toy drum and Steve told her she had musical talents.  I could hear the smile on her face as she spoke.  Even now, Steve brings joy to our lives.  Rest in peace my friend.

Terry & Family,

     The Camp Marcella family extends its deepest condolences to you. Steve was a fixture at Camp Marcella for many years in many ways. We will remember his talents and miss him always.

Mike Pacala 
Camp Marcella
President

Terry & Family,
I met you and Stephen in 1982 when we all worked at Camp Marcella.  That was a long, long time ago but I remember his musical talents. I also remember how happy you both were when Robert was born. My heart goes out to your family.  May your memories bring you comfort.
Penny Rosenblum

Theresa and Family,
    I am so saddened by Steve's passing, my prayers are with you all. 
                             Ed Brice (Picatinny)

We had a joke between us that when we started out to go somewhere I would tell him he would be driving. Steve's disability seemed to give him greater abilities in everything he loved. When he talked about a computer program it was with passion. The times we worked together are some of my favorite memories of my time at Picatinny. Since I retired I have often praised him while talking to friends.  Although I haven't seen Steve in several years hearing of his passing causes me to feel an emptiness and loss for a great man.

The heavenly choir & band just got a lot better.

There is a star in the heavens where all goodness can be found and where Steven now resides... Barry Chase

Terry and Family 
Sharon and I were very sorry to hear of Steve's passing.  We remember him well from our years at Camp Marcella and his adventures with Monty and the New Jersey Blind Athletes.  He was always ready to sing a song bringing us together and made  us laugh. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I never knew Steve to be without a positive attitude.  Great memories of him in our "Lady of the Lake"choir days. Heaven's choir has gained a great musician but we will dearly miss him. Love to Terri and the family.  Cindy Dunn

Steve was a great and inspiring leader.  He was kind hearted.  As a parent with a disabled son, Steve had encouraged me and had given me optimism.  He was also a good friend and a mentor.  -Victor Natividad-

many blessings to the family.  Steve was a gifted man and I have many great memories as one of his music students.  I am saddened to hear of his passing but will always remember him.

Please accept our condolences.  May our thoughts and prayers are help comfort you and your family.

                                          Naresh Tailor & Family

Condolences to the entire extended family.  I worked with Steve at Picatinny starting in August 1988; "Pizza Man" to me because of his love of on-the-job pizza in those early years.  Steve was the amazing, talented, musical MC for Spaghetti with Santa at the Club.  Steve's trademarks were Christian love of his teammates, infectious positive attitude and technical proficiency in all of his many and varied endeavors, and (in my opinion) an inner peace seldom seen in today's hectic world.  Miss you Pizza Man - knowing you was a blessing. 

Dear Teri, Angela and all the Ianncone family, We were blessed for the time we had with you and for the music we were able to make with Steve.  We hold precious memories in our hearts of his passion for his faith and his family, for the kindness and joy that he brought to every interaction we had with him.  He was a gifted musician and great intellect whose gifts live on in his children.  The world is a better place for his passing through, we are better people for having known him.  You are in our thoughts and prayers.  Love, Laura and Bernie, Noah, Grayson, Marina, Luke

In the past year Steve brought so many smiles to Vision Loss Alliance of New Jersey. I am in shock and so sad that such a good person has left us.  The work he was doing for us has laid a foundation for many years to come, and that is what he wanted to do.  He will be long remembered.

Dear Family, I knew of Steve growing up in Sparta, but finally had the pleasure of meeting him when I worked at Picatinny. He was so kind, caring and PATIENT for someone who was definitely computer illiterate, like me.  I a, so saddened to learn of his passing.  May your memories of him stay close to your heart and he will never be far. With deepest sympathy

Nothing I can say would adequately convey my condolences to the entire Iannacone Family.  while I know that Steve is whome now, his loss is felt deep in my heart.  My daughters and I will keep his memory alive always.  Mary Ann (formerly Patti)

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I was a co-worker, and I hope a friend, of Steve's...knew him for 26.5 years.  My experience of Steve showcased that he was kind, helpful, and so very good to so very many people.  He truly was the example of "Your light must shine before others that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father (Matthew 5:16)."  Gone too soon, too young, by earthly measure.  May he rest in peace.  Sympathy to the Iannacone family.

Terry and family. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Steve has been my friend and co-worker for over 25 years. I will never forget his warm regard for everyone who worked with him and for him. He will be truly missed by all of us who had the pleasure of knowing him.

We are so saddened to learn of the passing of Steve.  A kind spirit taken too soon.  He was a wonderful person and co-worker and boss.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Iannacone family.

Terry and family,

I am truly sorry for your loss. I have known Steve and worked with him for over 25 years. We worked together as division chiefs in the Network Enterprise Center. Steve always accomplished the most challenging tasks while showing compasion for the people that worked with him and for him. He has many friends, and he will be missed by all of them.

To Teri and Family, I was so sorry to hear about Steve today.  I worked for him for years at Picatinny.  He was one of the finest thinkers that I can remember in my 34 years of work.  And, even though he was a boss of mine, he still listened to me and my ideas.  He was a compassionate, great thinker.  I will miss him.  Brian

Teri & Family,
So sorry to hear about Steve and your loss. He was a wonderful person and friend of mine for the last 14 years.  He will be missed.
Kathy Hubert
