Known affectionately as “Nubbins,” Steven was a retired Chief Mechanical Inspector for the City of Cleveland who was known for his knowledge, generosity, and sense of humor. You could find him at home trying countless times to navigate Zoom for local meetings or out at local eateries—places where familiar faces and good food came together— or at his favorite local library enjoying a good book/newspaper. He found joy in feeding wildlife and requesting FaceTime visits with his favorite grand-dogs Roosevelt and Copper. Steven lived a life of quiet joys and simple pleasures that brought comfort to those around him.
May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.
Final arrangements to be announced.
