Stephen worked at Priester Construction for 42 years before retiring in 2011. He was an active member of the Kaaba Shriners, the Elks Club, and the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. Stephen loved to golf, fish, grill (when he wasn’t distracted by talking), and dancing down in Texas.

Those left to honor Stephen’s memory are his children: Michelle (Peter) Sird, Tammy Whitehouse, Timothy (Jeanne Sindt) Whitehouse, and Stephanie (Jason Collins) Whitehouse; grandchildren: Zachary, Richie, Jacob, Hunter, and Lilly; brother Thomas (Toni) Whitehouse; and his fiancé Deborah Reiser. He was preceded in death by his wives Carol and Janie and his parents.

There will be a celebration of life held at a later date for all of Stephen’s Winter Texan friends.
