With a heavy heart, widow Suzanne Petres Szappanos with solace in the will of God, shares with grief that her beloved husband Steve Emeric Szappanos, age 93, passed away on December 12, 2022.<\/p>\n

He was a Cleveland-Hungarian Scout Association scoutmaster, a retired electrical engineer from Rockwell Automation, former U.S. Army Korean war veteran, former president of the Hungarian Museum in Cleveland, patriarch, and historian of the Szappanos family, in the 93rd year of his life, in the 66th year of his marriage to Susan, with faith and reassurance in eternal life, returned his noble Hungarian soul to his Creator.<\/p>\n

We bid farewell to him on Saturday, January 7, 2023, at 11 am with a memorial service at the First Hungarian Reformed Church, 14530 Alexander Rd, Walton Hills, OH 44146. His ashes will be laid to rest in peace forever in the Szappanos family mausoleum in Kecskem\u00e9t, Hungary.<\/p>\n
