Stephen Mihalek Obituary
Stephen F. Mihalek passed on Monday, April 8, 2024 during a period of recovery from surgery earlier in the year. He is survived by his brother, Frank Mihalek of Hollis, New Hampshire and his nephew, Joseph Mieczkowski of Shelton, Connecticut.
He was born on February 25, 1939 in Bridgeport, Connecticut to his parents Stephen and Helen Mihalek and was soon joined by his sister, Patricia, and brother, Frank.
Through his early life he tried many things, but found his calling as a dedicated Firefighter for the City of Bridgeport. This career would go on to add color to his life well past his retirement and he would always be happy to share a story of his time on the job. Stephen was a member of the Bridgeport Area Retired Firefighters.
During Stephen's life he was an avid golfer and skier, participating in both sports all over the world. He was a firm believer in physical fitness and at the first hint of a sunny day, he could always be found at the closest beach wherever he may have been.
Friends are invited to attend the funeral on Tuesday, April 16, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. at the Pistey Funeral Home, 2155 Main Street, Stratford. Calling hours from 10:00 a.m. until time of service. Interment at St. John Cemetery, Stratford. Please visit www.pisteyfuneralhome.com to express condolences.
