STEPHEN BALABAN

BALABAN STEPHEN It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Stephen Balaban, 75, on December 31, 2020. Loyal, trusting, caring and generous are words that describe him even as he battled serious health problems as a result of a car accident and Type 1 diabetes. He was born to Eleanor and Jack Balaban of Camden, New Jersey. He spent many years in the men's ware business and at IRS. He was a devoted and loving husband and friend to his wife, Arline Balaban. He adored his family, his memories of Camden, Camp Kittatinny, Moorestown Friends School, great food and the Sixers, his pals from IRS, and his closest and dearest friends in Philadelphia and from the Ventnor shore house. The loves of his life were his daughter Jenna and his beloved granddaughter, Lily. He loved being a father and grandfather. His favorite word was "Pop". Even as he struggled with his health, Lily and Jenna provided him with many days of joy. He also leaves his oldest friend Fred, a brother, nieces and nephews, cousins and his cats who comforted him on difficult days. The family wishes to thank Einstein Hospital, especially Drs. Lekprasert, Pomerantz and Witzke. Donations may be made to the American Diabetes Association. A kind man with a big heart has left us and we will miss him more than words can express. A celebration of his life will occur in the future. Let the memories of his humor and kind spirit guide you as you move through your lives. www.goldsteinsfuneral.com
