GRECCO, Stephen Jude, age 57, of Paterson, with the deepest sorrow we announce that Stephen died suddenly and unexpectedly from a brief illness on March 26, 2021. He was a man with many skills. Stephen has been a professional chef, carpenter, plumber, even working high above the ground servicing communication antennas on sky scrapers. Stephen had a heart of gold and was well loved in the neighborhood. In addition to the unending task of maintaining the family apartment building property, in his “spare time”, he could always be found with his tool belt on, helping out a neighbor with some project or another. “He would give you the shirt off his back if you asked... and has!” Stephen leaves behind his loving father Jacob, mother Theresa, beloved son Ryan, two brothers, Joseph (wife Rhonda), and John (wife Heather), and four nieces and nephews, Paige, Tyler, Jake, Danny and Katie. A celebration of life will be held 2 to 4 pm on Wednesday, April 14, 2021 at the Aloia Funeral Home, 180 Harrison Ave., Garfield (973-340-7077). Condolences/Directions visit aloiafuneral.com

Stephen – we love you so much and will miss you until we are together again.
