Stephen Simon was born October 25,1937 in Gyor Hungary to Joseph and Katalin (Meszaros) Simon.
He came to America in 1956 as a refugee eager to start his American dream. Soon after arriving here, he learned English and was hired by IBM, where he worked for 35 years.
Stephen married the love of his life, Carolyn in 1963. His pride and joys were his four children, twelve grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. He loved them greatly and would do anything for them.
His many hobbies included leatherwork, birdwatching, fishing, woodworking and gardening, among others. He loved nature and was always in awe of America’s landscapes. As a philanthropist he donated to many charities, most especially “Defenders of Wildlife” and the “Humane Society of Summit County”.
He absolutely loved cats!
