In his 20 year career as a GE HealthCare Field Engineer III, Stephen was an integral part of the GE HealthCare Imaging Service team. He was willing to help anyone who needed it and had a trusted relationship with his peers and customers, all of his customers recognized his commitment to their needs and the quality of his work. Stephen received many awards for his work at GE HealthCare including the Best of the Best Award (twice) and a Three Heartbeat Award. He graduated from Duanesburg High School and earned a Bachelor of Science in Telecommunications from SUNY Institute of Technology at Utica Rome. Steve worked for Gibby’s diner during high school and college and this built his strong work ethic.

Stephen was known for his love of everything outdoors: hunting, fishing, hiking, snowmobiling, and trapping lobster. He loved camping with friends and making loaded Bloody Marys for all his camping friends was his tradition. He lived by the motto, “work hard to play hard,” and that he did. Stephen was selfless, his generous and helpful nature endeared him to all who knew him. He was always up for an adventure like going for rides on his motorcycle with good friends, off roading with his kids and traveling to new places. He was an avid and spontaneous chef, who could cook anything and was insistent on feeding anyone who visited. Stephen’s mispronunciations, bad impersonations, and at times twisted sense of humor were defining parts of him that entertained all. Stephen was an active member of the Knights of Columbus. Stephen found solace and community at Saint Michael’s Chapel and Our Lady of Fatima Church, where he worshipped with his family.

Stephen Mormando will be remembered for his MacGyver like problem-solving skills, unparalleled generosity, unwavering work ethic, endless energy, incredible sense of humor and devotion to his family. He leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories.
