Zio Stefano, un uomo dai sani principi, legato da sempre alla famiglia, marito affettuoso, padre premuroso e nonno dolcissimo.

Amava il suo paese, l'Italia, del quale sentiva forte il richiamo. Ci mancheranno le videochiamate serali, durante le quali, insieme a zia Edda e mammina, amava parlare di qualsisi cosa potesse riportarlo indietro negli anni, vecchi ricordi, racconti, aneddoti e l'amore per il suo paese natale: Polcherini.

Ci mancherai Zio Stefano....

Nessuno muore sulla terra finché vive nel cuore di chi resta.

Un forte abbraccio e le più sentite condoglianze, da parte mia e di mammina, a Zia Edda, Emily, Anthony, Angela e a quanti lo hanno amato e continueranno a farlo.

We met Stefano and his extended family through the friendship and eventually the marriage of his granddaughter and our son. We spent time with Stefano and his close knit family during several holidays and special celebrations. We always looked forward to sampling his homemade baked goods and even sometimes going home with a goodie bag. He will be remembered as a nice, kindhearted and friendly man. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family as he will be sadly missed.

Zio, i know at this time you are probably thinking about all of us they same way we all are thinking of you.

These last few days I have been overwhelmed with memories of you, beginning with the hunting adventures and Kerhonksen

Then there are the memories in the bakery and knowing every time I came there you would be knapp get on your cannoli can

And then there are the memories of family gatherings and all the fun and laughter. Those are the best memories and somehow we need to fill that void now. You have touch so many people and always told it the way you saw it, THE MALLOZZI WAY,,,

I can only say I will miss you terribly. Life sometimes does not have an answer. It just happens but some never forget and that is me. Till we meet again and there's no cursing in heaven. I will miss you Love Anthony

Although I’m not a grandchild by blood, Nonno Stefano always made me feel part of the family - as if i was blood. He taught me what to look for in a good pastry, what growing up in Italy was like, and how to not get all your money taken in Tombola. It was a blessing and honor to know him

My grandpa always put family first. He taught us all that, no matter what, family was most important. I have many beautiful memories of my grandfather. When visiting my grandparents in Brooklyn as a child, my grandpa would give us aprons and cookie dough and allowed us to make cookies of all shapes. Grandpa always baked the cookies to show us our finished product, even though we always preferred his seven layer cookies. I remember walking to video store to rent a movie and grandpa would fall asleep on the couch. I remember grandpa taking me to the cake display and asking 'which cake do you want for dessert tonight?'. When my grandparents moved to NJ, I visited every weekend in college to have lunch with my grandparents. More recently, my grandpa was so excited for the arrival of his first great-grandchild. Although he didn't have the chance to meet Luca in person, I am grateful that we had the chance to video chat a few times. I cherish all the memories I have and, as I start my own family, will remember that family always comes first.

My father and I always butted heads, but I guess it was because we were so much alike, both stubborn and we each had to have the last word. My father was a strict father, but he was ALWAYS there for us. My father always put family first!!! Nothing made him happier then having his children and grandchildren around. My father had a huge heart, he didn't show it with the hugs, kisses, nor the I love you, he showed it by being there, listening and giving advice. You just knew you could depend on him. I still can't believe my father's gone, and I will miss him everyday!!! There's a lot he has said to me that will resonate with me everyday, and that'll be how I will carry him in my heart everyday. Daddy, you know it was hard to say " I love you", but I did say it and you finally said it to me. Daddy I love you forever and will forever be in my heart. Rest in peace xoxo...

When Stephen and I got engaged, Steve made us (including Edda) limoncello cocktails to cheers us to a happy life. He was always so happy to see us. When I met Steve, I told him sorry I am not Italian but an Irish girl! He said don’t worry, everyone is good. He will be missed. Sending all my love to the Mallozzis

My Nonno always reassured me that good things would come as long as I worked hard. He always motivated me to do better, and have a positive outlook. I would not be where I am today if I was not fortunate enough to have had him in my life.

Grandpa made the best 7 layer cookies, and I have tried many other bakeries to try and compare. He also would always make small chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast whenever we slept over.
