Steven C. Cosmas

Steven C. Cosmas, aged 73, of Livingston, passed peacefully, surrounded by his family, on October 20, 2021. He was a loving husband to Stella; devoted father to Corinna (and Al) and Alex (and Ana); and was a wonderful grandfather to Jackson, Lyla, Anderson and Ames.

Born in Cyprus in 1947, Steve came to the U.S. to study engineering at New York University and Columbia. He enjoyed a long career as a technical manager and software engineer at Bell Labs, and served on the faculty of Devry University in math and physics. He received numerous honors and awards for technical excellence, but was most celebrated for his humility and his kindness.

Many remember Steve as a Livingston youth soccer coach and, more recently, a member of the Living Tones choir. He was also an active member of the Saints Nicholas, Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church in Roseland.

Steve lived with integrity and valued education and hard work. He is remembered by all who knew him as a gentle human being, a wonderful family man, and a good friend.
