Stephen Arlington Obituary
Granbury, Texas - Stephen James Arlington died November 29, 2023 at age 79 of natural causes. At his specific request he has been cremated and there will be no service of any kind. Stephen was born May 24, 1944 in Rochester, NY to James H. and Elsie Mae Arlington. He was raised in the Town of Greece, a Rochester suburb, and attended public schools there. At age 17 Stephen joined the Navy and served in the nuclear submarine USS Ethan Allen (SSBN608) as a nuclear reactor plant operator. After nine years of active duty he transferred to the Naval Reserve from which he subsequently retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer with nearly 30 years total service. In May 1965 Stephen married his one true love and very best friend Mary Ellen LeBlanc. They spent 58 years together getting to know one another. During this process they had two fine sons, Kevin and Keith, and three grandchildren, Nate, Hannah and Gaby. Stephen received a BS in Business Administration (cum laude) from the Rochester Institute of Technology. He then graduated (cum laude) from Albany Law School in Albany, NY. Stephen practiced Law in Albany, initially as an Assistant District Attorney, then in private practice until his retirement. He held memberships in various Bar Associations and community organizations.

To Steve´s Family:
Knew Steve from the Naval Reserve. We served at both the Albany Reserve Center and the Naval Reserve Readiness Command in Scotia, NY.
He was a great guy and a true friend. I would often see him on the sidewalks in downtown Albany and we would chat about whatever the topic of the day was. I know you will miss him greatly.
My prayers and condolences.
Master Chief John Morris
