Steven Angelo

Staranowski

Steven Angelo Staranowski, 83, of Plymouth Meeting, PA, passed away peacefully on Friday, November 6, 2026, surrounded by his wife and three children.

Born in Roxborough, Pennsylvania, on August 8, 1943, he was the son of the late Caroline Casselli and Steven Staranowski. Steve was raised on Umbria Street, Manayunk, by his Italian immigrant family and spent the last 46 years living in Plymouth Meeting. He was a devoted member of St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church in East Norriton.

Steve was the President of the January 1962 graduating class of Roxborough High School, though, in more recent years, was an honorary member of an intimate Roman Catholic high school breakfast club. After graduating from Roxborough High, Steve joined the Air Force and served our country for four years before continuing his education at LaSalle College, graduating in 1974. Steve was incredibly proud of his military service and never missed an opportunity to connect with a fellow veteran.

He was a lifelong fisherman and could often be found with family and friends on the 59th Street Pier at Sea Isle City, New Jersey. It was not uncommon to see Steve fixing the gear of youngsters fishing nearby, regularly giving away his bait or letting them reel in his catch.

From Pennsylvania to Florida, Steve religiously played the lottery, teaming up regularly with his brother from another mother, Stanley. Family and friends often risked getting into trouble by secretly playing his numbers for him when he was unable.

Steve is survived by a family that adored him: his wife, Helen (Trimbur) Staranowski, with whom he recently celebrated 59 years of marriage; his son, Steven (Emily) Staranowski of Media, PA; daughter, Diana (Frank) Argentieri of Roxborough, PA; and son, Derek (Johnathan) Staranowski of Cortlandt Manor, NY; as well as his sister, Marie Staranowski of Lansdale, PA. Steve is also survived by his three grandchildren, Nicholas (Caroline), Christian, and Julia, who affectionately called him "Poppi"; his sister-in-law, Suzanne Shuster, and her family; and countless cousins, nieces, and nephews who knew him as "Uncle Steve" or simply "Unc."

Steve was a mentor, friend, father figure, and constant source of love and support to countless people. To Steve, no one was a stranger. He was a warm, kind, wonderful man who had a gift for making everyone he met feel loved.

Relatives and friends are invited to the visitation on Friday, November 13, 2026, from 9:30 AM to 10:45 AM at St. Paul's RC Church, 2007 New Hope St., East Norriton, PA 19401.
