Stephen H. Melchionne

Stephen (Steve) H. Melchionne passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loving wife and two sons.

Steve was born in Pottsville, PA on January 12, 1943, to Joseph Melchionne and Elizabeth (Weikel) Melchionne. He served proudly in the US Navy from 1962-66. Steve loved fishing, hunting, and being with his family. Steve had a wonderful sense of humor, and he loved joking with friends and family members. People often wondered if he was serious or not.

Steve is survived by his wife Mildred of 43 years, his two sons Stephen Melchionne (Natasha), David Melchionne-Martinez (John), his granddaughter Carmela, and two bonus grandchildren, Jackson and Evelyn Karn of Minneapolis. He is also survived by his daughters Ginger Weiss (Kyle), Lisa Bochicchia (Bill), Lynn Hubler (Brian), and Crystal Malyszko (Tommy) and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Pennsylvania.
