Timothy Dennis Stein

STEIN Timothy Dennis Stein, age 41, Saturday, September 30, 2006 in the comfort of his parents' home, surrounded by his family. Over the past 15 months, Tim fought many hard battles against multiple myeloma and won most of them handily. Always at his side was Diana Grevencamp, his devoted fiancee and caregiver. Tim also is survived by his parents, Paul D. and Suzanne M. Stein; brother, Raymond P. (Rita Price) Stein; and nephews, Jack Stein and Ben Coder; brother, Douglas H. (Barbara) and nephews, Geoffrey, Joshua and Noah, and niece, Faith; and brother, Gregory J. (Kim) and nephew, Nicholas. Tim leaves behind a large and loving extended family of 7 maternal aunts and more than 30 first cousins. Tim was preceded in death by grandparents Ray and Ruth Koebel and Howard Stein and Elizabeth Andrews. Tim loved holidays, backyard football, cats, home-run derby and basketball in the driveway. He knew how to savor a well-prepared meal and was especially fond of pizza from Plank's Cafe and anything from Resch's Bakery. Tim was a tremendous fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football teams. In 2003, he proudly made a Cum Christo weekend. Tim was a big and gentle man whose smiling spirit met no strangers. Friends may call 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. Tuesday at MAEDER QUINT TIBERI FUNERAL HOME, 1068 S.
