Stephen was an avid Pittsburgh Penguins and Pittsburgh Steelers fan. He enjoyed bowling, golfing, classic rock, and reading. He owned an extensive collection of rock music and professional sports cards.
Surviving Stephen are his wife - the former Jackie Brittain of Erie; his mother - Barbara A. Zimmerman and her husband, Paul of Concord, N.C.; his father - Stephen Bernard Novotny Jr. of Erie; his grandmother - Betty Loomas of Orlando, Fla.; and his brother - Gregory Thomas Novotny of Durham, N.C. He is further survived by his mother-in-law - Rosemarie Rendulic; a sister-in-law - Danielle Rendulic; and several aunts, uncles, and cousins, including Shannon Ferrare, all of Erie.

Bernie, I so sorry to hear about your son. He looks just like I remember you! You and I (and Jim) were neighbors on Chestnut Street back in the 70s. I, too, lost a son last year...I can feel your sorrow. He, too, is sailing with the angels. Sending you peace, prayers and love. Janet Mott - Erie
