Mr. Steven John Hammerle, formerly of Westwood, NJ, passed away on May 13, 2024, in Lexington, South Carolina, at the age of 70. He was born on January 29, 1954, in Union City, NJ, and grew up in New Milford, NJ where he met and married his high school sweetheart, Diane, in the marching band.
Steve, as he was known, will be remembered for his gentleness, kindness, willingness to help others, and dedication to his family. He was always smiling and laughing, loved animals, music (60's rock), baseball (Yankees forever!), and almost any kind of food. He worked as an accountant for CBS, Sony Music, and Toys R Us for 40 years. Everyone he met loved him and he made their lives better just with his presence. He touched the lives of many and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 48 years, Diane Marie (Miller) Hammerle; his two children, Kristin Cappadona (of Blythewood, SC) and Eric Hammerle (of Seattle, WA); four grandchildren, Caroline, Charlotte, Henry, and Alexander; his brother, Eugene W. Hammerle (of River Edge, NJ); and several brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends.
He was predeceased by his mother and father (Beatrice and Eugene), his aunts and uncles, and several cousins. May he rest in peace.
