He was the assistant Manager of Pathmark in Bridgeport and Danbury, and worked at Fairfield Lumber before creating Stephen J. Yellen Builders Construction Management, specializing in the restoration and conversion of historic homes. His designs had been featured in architectural trade publications.
He was a devoted and loving partner, son, father, uncle, and brother. An avid golfer, he played with joy and great skill. He was a die-hard Yankee fan all his life, and his love of plants knew no bounds. Stephen moved all who knew him with his kindness and love of life.
He will be greatly missed.
