Stephen Michael Grams, 79 entered into eternal rest on Friday, September 17, 2021 at home in Old Bridge, NJ surrounded by his Family. Stephen was born in Brooklyn, NY the son of Stephen and Margaret, he graduated from Eastern District High School. His time as the Master Sergeant of the Civil Air Patrol was one of the proudest memories of those 4 years. Stephen immediately started work at Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company as a Rack Clerk after graduation. He retired 37 years later in 1996 as Vice President of Chase Bank in New York City. Steve was involved in many organizations and volunteered his time whenever possible. He spent many years as the Financial Advisor for the Lieutenants Benevolent Association of the New York City Police Department. The Association made him an honorary member before he stepped down. He also was the President of the Quarter Century Club for Chemical Bank, once he hit the milestone. Steve was an avid bowler and played for Manufacturers Hanover in Madison Square Garden for many years. You could also find him many nights bowling at Hill Lanes in Old Bridge. He also held positions in all of the leagues he played in. Steve made sure he gave back whenever possible including with his church serving as their financial Secretary. Since they were married 60 years many people would ask them what's their secret so my mother would always say "we never had a fight" and my father would say "that I won".
