Stephen MIchael Pacelli, MRCS (SW/DV)
STEPHEN MICHAEL PACELLI MRCS (SW/DV) retired, 52 of Oviedo Florida passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, October 14, 2008.
The son of Yolanda (Lonnie) Pacelli and the late Michael Pacelli, Steve was born and raised in Stamford, graduating from JM Wright Technical School in 1974. He enlisted in the Navy shortly after graduation, and served until his retirement in 1996 as Machinery Repairman Senior Chief. His early Navy years were spent at several duty stations as well as on board ships, his last being the USS Ortolon in Charleston, SC. In 1984 Steve served with great pride as a Navy Diver until his retirement.
For the past 12 years, he was employed by Delta Airlines as a Captain. Steve had the great joy of working in two elements he clearly loved, the sea and the air, and spending his free time on his sailboat racing or riding his Harley. Steve will be remembered most for his enthusiasm for life and adventure, his sense of humor, and his dedication to family and friends. He was a true Patriot.
He is survived by his daughters Alexandra, Samantha and Emily all of Florida. In addition to his mother, Steve is also survived by his sister, Debra Perry and brother-in-law Kevin of Stamford, and his two nieces Jennifer of Stamford and Allison and her husband Joe of Hamden, CT. Steve is also survived by several aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends all of whom will miss him dearly. He was predeceased by both of his maternal and paternal grandparents and well as several aunts, uncles and cousins. By the outpouring love and support, it is clear Steve will also be remembered well, and sorely missed by his Navy Divers group of friends with whom he served and the Pilot's Association and flight crews of Delta Airlines, in addition to his family and friends.
A mass of Christian burial will be celebrated on Saturday, November 8, 2008 at 9:30 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church, 37 Schuyler Avenue, Stamford. Inurment will follow in St. John's Cemetery, Darien, CT.
