Steven Stukes

We mourn the loss of Steven Stukes who is now in heaven in comfort and peace with his parents, Rita and Gus Stukes, his sister Patricia Bobko, and family and friends who have departed.Steve was the beloved Uncle and Godfather to Kristin Bobko Johnson and Steven Bobko who warmly welcomed their spouses Rob and Amy into the family, a loving Great Uncle to Colin Steven and Emma Patricia Johnson, a wonderful Brother-in-Law to Gary Bobko, and a caring Godfather to Daniel Aulisi. His many friends and all family members were considered an important part of his life and he valued those special times with them. He especially enjoyed skiing, boating, travel, Penn State and Notre Dame football games, the NY Giants with the exception of the last few seasons, and of course a good happy hour.He was a devoted and loyal Detective with the NJ State Police after completing his bachelor's degree from Trenton State College and his master's from Seton Hall University. He was honored to serve with the State Police and considered those in law enforcement to be part of his extended family. Steve enjoyed his years in retirement after a full career.A mass will be held for Steve at St Justin the Martyr Roman Catholic Church at 975 Fischer Blvd, Toms River at 11 AM on Friday November 3 with a luncheon to follow to Celebrate his Life at Aqua Blu restaurant in Toms River.Donations can be made in his memory to Memorial Sloan Kettering at giving.mskcc.org.
