Stephen was a proud veteran of the U. S. Army having served as a Master Sergeant in the Korean War. He loved his country and proved his patriotism with a military service record of close to 30 years! “Papa” as he was affectionately known, was a family man who loved being around family and especially fishing with his grandson Charlie. He was also a trivia expert and probably master level in his trivia knowledge when it came to Jeopardy. Steve Gathof was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him!
