Stephen Volpi

Stephen Volpi passed away peacefully surrounded by his loved ones on December 21, 2023 at the age of 89. Stephen was born and raised in Borough Park, Brooklyn, NY. When Stephen was drafted to the military during the Korean War he proposed to and married his wife Cynthia, where they spent their first year of marriage just outside the Fort Benning base.

After his service, Cynthia and Stephen settled in Bergenfield where they raised their two daughters, Denise and Brenda. Stephen worked as a fleet manager for the BCUA. Upon his retirement, Stephen and Cynthia moved to River Vale where he continued as a crossing guard for 20 years at Roberge School.

His fondest memories are crossing his four grandchildren from school every day and making life-long friendships with parents, students, teachers and staff, and the River Vale police officers.

Stephen is survived by his wife of 68 years, Cynthia (Altobello) Volpi, daughters Denise Willard, and Brenda Widman and her husband, Paul. Stephen was the most loving and loyal grandfather to Stephen Willard, Lauren Widman, Brett Willard, and Alex Widman.
