DR. STEPHEN J. POPKO

I guess grief does not have a termination date. I watch Pat and Joe; Nancy and John; and Marybeth and Diego doing stuff I would have liked to do with you. It hurts. But it is still worth the time I DID get to spend with you. I see you as still tending to people wherever you are, sharing your special spirit, your "Holding Environment". Love you always.

In Response To Rev. Anthony Borka: This is Sharen, (AKA: Boom Boom Plunkett, as Steve called me.) "Anthonx" (as Steve called you)... I remember you well. Our "Feast Days" were legendary and I will never forget you. - I also subscribe to this page, so when anyone writes anything new, I get notified and I can see what is being written.

In response to Rev. Anthony Borka : I am Marilyn's youngest sister, Steve's favorite sister-in-law! Lol I can attest to what you said regarding his amazing sense of humor. He was very clever, very quick and subtle. He would maintain a straight and emotionless face, and wing out the funniest things. Many people did not catch it because you have to "listen" and be quick to decipher his tremendous and often naughty commentaries. He often would throw out these one liners that really packed a...

I am surprised that people are still writing in this obit column. I just decided to see Stephen's obit so I looked it up and there he was. Steve was not my doctor but my friend since 1958.The stories I could tell you but I will say that it was Stephen who got me to come to Florida to go to Barry U. And so here I am at age 80 in 2025. Still miss my old friends who are passing away. Stephen was one that I hope to see in heaven. You don't know what a nut he was because apparently he was serious...

Sharon - That was such a WONDERFUL tribute and message to your "back up Dad". I reaaly loved reading it . For sure Steve is smiling down at your each day with pride and all his love . Love you girl !

So many years have gone by since you left & I still think of you often & hold you close in my heart as a doctor, friend & counselor. I lost my medical doctor last year the day before I lost my Dave. You three have left memories in my life that will never be forgotten. Each of you helped me in different ways but was so very dear. Asking God for blessings on your wife & family!

14 years ago today, I lost one of THE MOST influential people ever to enter into my life. His name is Steve and I refer to him as my "Back-up Dad". I remember like it was yesterday.... He was on his way out, and he knew it. I came over to the house to wish him and Marilyn Popko (my "MAIN Back-up Mom") a Merry Christmas. I was leaving the next morning headed to Philly to spend Christmas with my boyfriend´s (at the time) family. That night we talked and he told me he didn´t have much time...
