He graduated from Half Moon Bay High School in 1964. Stephen and his wife Ilva were married in 1972 and spent 40 memorable and loving years together in Half Moon Bay.

Stephen started working at an early age in the kitchen at Original Johnny's alongside his father John. He forged personal connections and knew by heart his customer's favorites dishes. To this day customers reminisce over his pies. He was loved by many in the community.
He enjoyed life and was always up for an adventure. He traveled, enjoyed cheering on the San Francisco 49ers and Giants, and more importantly spending time with his family. He was his grandchildren's biggest fan.
