Obituary

It is with profound sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Steven "Steve" Lee Epstein at home on April 29, 2023. Born on August 20, 1949, Steven was a beacon of unending kindness and generosity. He touched many lives with his compassionate and giving nature, fine sense of humor, and the comfort he shared.

Steven was predeceased by his father, David Epstein, mother, Sylvia Iskowitz, and brother, Paul Epstein. He is survived by his …

Personal note from Susan J Panko

Since we can't all get together in-person, we hope that this site can be a place for us to come together to remember Steven, share memories and support each other. The service was not recorded on Facebook. For those of you who could not attend, I posted the comments and readings in this website. Even the flyer is attached. If you want copies of the flyer, please contact me. I will mail you one. There have been many additions to the memories and condolences page. Also a video tribute from his (step) SON Walter.

This is a song that Steven would play his guitar and sing to me.
I THINK OF YOU
When I'm lost, you bring me back
When I cry, you make me glad
When I think I have it bad
I think of you
When I don't know where to go
And I feel like I's alone
When I hand my head down low
I think of you
Each night You wait outside my door
Cause you want to know, I think of you

When I fall into a snare
And it's all too much to bear
When I think nobody cares
I think of you
When the going's getting tough
And I feel like giving up
When I think I've had enough
I think of you
