He served his country as a United States Marine in the Korean Conflict as an Anti-Tank Assault Infantryman.
Steven’s entire life was centered around his family. He was an avid gardener who loved spending long days on the beach. He was loyal to his friends and neighbors and enjoyed hosting the “Breakfast Club”. In later years he was well cared for by his devoted aide, Iveta, who nurtured his Slovak heritage.
