Stephen M. Kubik, 85, longtime resident of Westmont, at rest November 2, 2024. Born July 30, 1939 in Chicago, IL to Steve and Pauline Kubik.

Steve was a Harley enthusiast and rider. He exercised daily and enjoyed running, especially in local events, which he did quite well in! He enjoyed auto mechanics, which he passed on to his children, smelt fishing at Montrose Beach and off party boats in the Gulf of Mexico, gardening, golfing, and cooking, especially soup. Steve was a longtime parishioner at Bethel Lutheran Church in Westmont, serving as an usher.

Saddened to hear this, I've known Steve for over 30 years, met him working at Molex. My wife would see Steve and Gloria at LA Fitness and Steve would always take time out to talk to my wife. Great family and Steve will be missed. Best memory of Steve was his short pencil collection, something mostly known to those that worked with Steve. Always a short pencil and piece of paper in his pocket, just in case he needed it.

Brian and I will miss Steve's smiles and conversation at church. He always had some interesting news to share!
Prayers for Gloria and your family

I first met Steve at Molex....we were all part of the Molex family and have continued to see each other since 2001 when many of us retired. We have a Retiree Lunch Group that meets at Rayme's in Lisle. Gloria is a wonderful, beautiful lady and she will be remembered in my prayers. Marianne Roenna

We weren't related but Steve has always been family to us. Until we all meet again, may you rest in peace with our heavenly father.
