his wife, Natalie; beloved sister, Jeanne and her husband ,Joe Farcus. Also survived by

Tulane Medical School. He completed a Tulane residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the

iconic Big Charity and practiced for 35 years, delivering several generations.

Stephen loved animals, good food, and all things New Orleans. He loved festivals, eating out

with friends, breakfast with Cub Scout guys, lunch with Fortier guys, singing with Kol Simcha

and any chance to be with family.

service celebrating his life will be held when we can gather. In lieu of flowers, donations may be

made to Congregation Gates of Prayer, the Louisiana SPCA, or St. Therese Academy.
