Stephen A.
Stephen A. Bok, 55 years, of Hicksville, OH, lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on Saturday, February 21, 2015, in his home, under the care of Community Health Professionals, with his family by his side. An ASE World Class Auto Technician and Master Mechanic for 35 years, he was most recently working for Jim Schmidt Family of Dealerships in Hicksville. He previously worked at Stan Pepple Motors in Bryan, OH for several years and BP ProCare in Toledo, OH.

Steve enjoyed truck pulls and garden tractor pulls with his boys and the Fairview FFA. A NASCAR fan, he looked forward to the yearly race at MIS.
He treasured spending time with his family and friends. Steve was a longtime member of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church.
