Stephen Dahood Obituary
Born in Concord, Stephen was a dedicated and hardworking family man. He worked at Concord Litho for 31 years. He loved motorcycles, camping with his family and friends and quiet evenings at home with a cigar and a Michelob Light.

He was predeceased by his father, John Dahood.
He leaves behind his wife of 18 years, Heidi J. (Ziarko) Dahood of Allenstown; his children, Stephen, Jessica, Matthew, John and Bruce; his mother, Carlene Dow and his stepfather, Dwight Dow; two brothers, Jim Hoyt and John Dahood II; two sisters, Sandra Muller and Linda Bosa; several nieces and nephews; and hundreds of grateful friends.
He will be forever missed.
Calling hours will be held Frida, July 8 from 5 to 8 p.m. at Bennett Funeral Home, 3 Church St. Chapel (the brick building).
Funeral services will be held Saturday, July 9 at 10 a.m. at the Bennett Funeral Home, Church Street Chapel.

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.

An Irish Prayer
Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Everything remains as it was.
The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no sorrow in your tone.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane.
We would walk right up to Heaven
and bring you back again.
No farewell words to be spoken,
No time to say "Goodbye".
You were gone before we knew it,
and only God knows why.
Our hearts shall ache with sadness, and secret tears will flow.
What it meant
No one can ever know.
But now we know you want us
to mourn for you no more;
to remember all the happy times
life still has much in store.
You'll never be forgotten,
we pledge to you today~
A hollowed place within the hearts
is where you'll always stay
May you rest in peace.
Our deepest condolences to the family.
