OBITUARY

Stephen Place, 76 of Bristol, Connecticut passed away after a four-year battle with cancer on May 12th, 2024.

A thoughtful and caring husband to his wife Paula of 37 years and a loving father to his daughters Anna and Deborah, Stephen was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1948 and grew up in Arlington, Massachusetts. He graduated Arlington High School in 1966, afterwards serving in the United States Air Force from 1968-1972, then graduating from UMass Amherst in 1975.

He was passionate about his work at the American Radio Relay League Headquarters, where he met his beloved spouse. He continued to work at several other companies, making friends wherever he went, retiring from Doncasters in 2014.

A true Christian gentleman, he was an active member of Grace Baptist Church for many years, devoting his time to teaching Sunday School and Pioneer Club, as well as serving on numerous committees. One of his proudest moments was attaining the rank of Eagle Scout in 1963.

In addition to being a devoted Boston sports fan, he enjoyed an array of other hobbies throughout his life, including reading, fishing, a deep appreciation of classical guitar music, and being the proud originator of many dad jokes.

Stephen was preceded in death by his parents Kenneth and Dorothy (Alsen) Place. He is survived by his wife, Paula; daughter Anna Matney and her husband Christofer; daughter Deborah Place; brother Karl William Place and his wife Mary, and nephews Brandon and Jonathan Place.

Visitation will be on Wednesday, June 12, 2024, from 5-8pm at Bailey Funeral Home, 48 Broad St. Plainville, CT, with burial at State Veterans Cemetery in Middletown. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Grace Baptist Book of Remembrance, 736 King Street, Bristol, Connecticut 06010.
