Stephen Pindar Obituary

Stephen H. Pindar

AGE: 61 • Manhattan, NY

Stephen H. Pindar, 61, of Manhattan passed away peacefully on October 4th of esophageal cancer. Stephen grew up in Belmar, NJ. He was a 1971 graduate of St. Rose High School and a member of the 1969 State Championship Cross Country team. Stephen has a Journalism Degree from Temple University. He had a successful career in retail, first with Brooks Brothers and most recently with Hickey Freeman. Stephen was a member of Marble Collegiate Church in Manhattan, where he served as head usher for many years. He was a welcoming fixture on Sunday mornings at the church doors. Stephen was an avid photographer, San Francisco Giant fan and loved to travel. He especially enjoyed his trips to Toronto to visit his step sister, Linda Howard Price and her five children.

Stephen is predeceased by his parents, David and Virginia Pindar; his siblings, Virginia, David and Kevin, and his uncles, Reverend James Pindar and Gerald Pindar. He is survived by his sister, Barbara Pindar and Lee Jarecki of Shrewsbury, NJ; his twin brother, James and his wife Patsy of Eatontown, NJ; his brothers, Christopher and his wife Kim of Spring Lake Heights, NJ, Michael and his wife Patricia of Wall, NJ and Jerry Pindar and Cleo Lewis of Manhattan.

All who had the pleasure of meeting Stephen will never forget his strong faith, gentle heart and sense of humor. He will be missed by many.

Donations can be made in Stephen's honor to the charity of your choice. He always said "help where you can," which he lived every day.

Services will be held in early November at Marble Collegiate Church in Manhattan.

I unfortunately found out about Stephen's passing when recently shopping at the Hickey Freeman store on Madison Avenue. Stephen helped me out several years ago when he helped me pick out my wedding suit. We had some things in common; from Central NJ, ran in high school and went to the same beaches growing up. He was a very easy going and friendly person. My condolences to the Pindar family on his passing too soon.
