Stephen Nalley Obituary

Nalley, Stephen O. NASSAU Stephen O. Nalley, 63, of Nassau passed away peacefully surrounded by family and friends at the Hospice Inn at St. Peter's Hospital on October 6, 2014. Born in Rensselaer, he was the son of Dorothy Boel and the late Raymond A. Nalley II. Stephen was a member of the Nassau Sportsman Club and was an avid golfer. He recently designed and built his own golf course which was a huge accomplishment for one person to do. Most known for his joy of working, he was the owner of Impact Auto and S&S Auto Sales in Nassau. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need and would help out a customer who might not have had the money they needed, just to get them back on the road. In addition to his mother he is survived by his son, Stephen B. Nalley; daughters, Rebecka (Jason) Couse, Kaitlyn Nalley, Kimberley Nalley and their mother Barbara Secor; companion, Ruth Bombard; brothers, John R. (Pat), Donald A. and Raymond A. Nalley III; sisters, Jan A. (Art) Archambeault and Mary E. (Wayne) Elliot; grandchildren, Michael and Mackenzie Couse. He is also survived by his aunt and uncle and several nieces, nephews and cousins. A celebration of Steve's life will be celebrated this Friday, October 10, at 12 p.m. at the Nassau Sportsman Club, 370 Boyce Road, Nassau, NY 12123. Donations in Steve's memory may be made to the Community Hospice, 315 S. Manning Blvd., Albany, NY 12208. Online condolences may be offered at Mooneyfuneralhome.com

I fondly recall how creative he was and the times I assisted him with some of his more elaborate projects. Things I thought would never work and sometimes they even seemed to defy science! But seemed to work as he planned. He always left me wondering what he was going to think up next!
