Stephen Lepoma

Mr. Stephen A. Lepoma, age 66, of Biloxi, MS., died Tuesday, November 22, 2005, at his home in Biloxi. Steve was preceded in death by his parents, Roy and Mary Lepoma. He is survived by his wife, Sandra, son and daughter-in-law, Dean and Connie Lepoma, grandchildren, Megan and Ryan Lepoma, daughter, Dawn Lepoma Dodge and brother, Anthony Lepoma. Retired from the U.S. Postal Service, Steve had an avid love for fishing. Even after his health prohibited him from enjoying his sport, he always liked to hear a good fishing story, and share his own fish stories from the past with friends. Special thanks to Father Dennis Harlow for his visits and strolls down memory lane of their fishing adventures together. The family would like to thank friends and family that have supported us all during Steve's illness. Special thanks to those that traveled from out of state. Those who have known and loved Steve, should always remember him by his good humor, gentle nature and kindness he showed others. A private service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, in honor of Steve's love for animals and his companion and friend, yellow lab, Mollie, the family would like donations be made to the Humane Society of South MS., 13756 Washington Avenue, Gulfport, MS., 39503.
