Steven Colsen Obituary

Waterford - Dr. Steven Roger Colsen passed away April 20, 2020 of cancer. He graduated from podiatry school in 1968. In 1969, he and his then wife, Terry, moved to New London and bought a small podiatry practice. Two years later, his son Sean was born. Then three years after that, his daughter Tracy came along. He loved the close-knit nature of the area as well as the strong Italian influence by his Pawcatuck office. He's survived by his wife Joanne Benvenuti Colsen; his children Tracy Colsen Schaperow and her husband Samuel Schaperow, and Sean Colsen and wife Carol Picone Colsen; and grandchildren: Grant, Ryan, Talia, Rosa and Benjamin.

Joanne,

We were saddened to learn of the passing of Steve. We would like to express our deepest sympathy to you and your family due to the recent loss of your dear husband and our friend. Steve was not only my doctor but my friend for many years. I will truly miss our chats about life, death, and everything in between. He will be sincerely missed.

To Dr. Colson's Family:
I am just so saddened to hear Dr. Colson passed. Years ago, while working two jobs, one as a server with sudden foot problems,
it was the Doc who solved my pain and saved my job! He'll be remembered for his compassion, sense of humor - especially comforting during a frightening surgery, and for his professionalism.
With my deepest sympathy,
Nancy

My wife told me Steve was a big reason why she became a psychologist, due to his advocating for mental health services, supporting her to do the schooling, etc. And, I'd not have met her if it wasn't for him (we met at Catholic Charities & Family Services).

Sam Schaperow
P.S. I miss him.
