Of Orleans, formerly of Stow, passed away in the home he built surrounded by his loving family on
February 10, 2019, at the age of 76. Steve was the beloved husband of Paula (McCormack) Jablon,
loving father, grandfather, brother, uncle, brother-in-law and friend. He was the son of the late Felix
and Stella Jablon of Bolton, CT. In addition to his wife of 48 years, Steve is survived by son Michael and
his wife, Tracey; daughter Marissa Ogden and her husband, Jeffrey; grandchildren Sean Jablon, and
Avery, Garrett and Finley Ogden; brother Peter and his wife, Joyce; sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law,
nieces and nephews.
After receiving his undergraduate degree in English from the University of Connecticut, Steve served
proudly as U.S. Army Artillery Officer in Korea, obtained an MBA from Northeastern, and
earned his CPA certification while working at the accounting firm of Coopers & Lybrand. He then joined
Digital Equipment Corporation where he worked for many years. Before retiring, Steve worked for
Compaq/HP and as a consultant at KPMG.
Steve will always be remembered for his friendliness, modesty, and kindness. He was an avid runner,
outdoorsman, history buff, and accomplished carpenter who could fix virtually anything. He was always
working on a new project and brought his creative talent to everything he did. Besides his many
activities, Steve’s passion was his family, and he particularly treasured every moment spent with his four
grandchildren. Steve was a wonderful and gentle man who will be sorely missed, but whose spirit lives
on in everyone who knew and loved him.
A celebration of Steve’s life will be held at 11am on Saturday, July 20 at St. Joan of Arc Church in
Orleans. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Steve’s memory to the Salvation Army or Mass
Audubon. For online condolences, please visit www.nickersonfunerals.com .
