Cherished brother and brother-in-law of Marion and Hymie Tannenbaum, Linda Ruby, Sheila Weinberg and the late Jerry Weinberg.
Stephen was also a pillar in the lives of his many nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews. He will be missed by his special Aunt Miriam.
Family was Stephen's priority in life and his friendships, often many decades long, further enriched his days.
In addition, he founded Jonar Systems in 1986 and provided leadership to his customers and staff whkeo valued his wisdom and no-nonsense approach.
