He was born in Augusta on Oct. 29, 1946, the son of Armand and Eleanor (Libby) St.Hilaire.
Stephen grew up in Winthrop, graduating from Winthrop High School. Not long after, he was drafted into the Army, where he served from March 13, 1968 to Oct. 16, 1969, with the 1st Infantry Division, The Big Red One, during the Vietnam War. He was a radio operator until being honorably discharged and awarded the Bronze Star for his heroic service to his country.
On March 25, 1972, he married Gail Williams, and together they raised two children, Kim and Derek.
Stephen was employed by Carleton Woolen Mill for several years as a truck driver until his retirement.
He was an active member of the Alfred W. Maxwell American Legion Post 40 and also the Disabled American Veterans. Stephen was a die-hard Yankees fan from an early age and had a hobby of collecting antique coins. He will be dearly missed by his family and all who loved him.
He was predeceased by his parents and his dog, Goldie.

Tete, So many good memories. Harmless mischief, the infamous break from Barney's jail, parties at the camps, the Wayne dessert, the escape to Massachusetts, and drinking Buds in March just before we went into the service. You were an exceptional human being and brother to all your friends. I wish I would have known you were In Florida. It would have been great to visit. Hello to all old friends who were privileged to know Tete.
