Stephen received his degree in English from Rhode Island College and was employed at The Providence Journal for much of his life as a copy editor. Though he enjoyed movies, classical and rock music, and tennis, he treasured nothing above spending time with and taking care of his family.

Robin (Wayne) of Rehoboth, MA; his nieces, Ashley L. Rogers, Chelsea L. Robin, and Rachel D. Boyette; his nephew Brian C. Vail; and numerous cousins including Robert Xavier, Nicholas A. Zabbo, and the late Justin D. Zabbo.
