Steven J. Yasalonis of Enola, PA, passed away peacefully on May 26, 2025 at the age of 73. He graduated from Cedar Cliff High School in 1969 and later retired as a Mailroom Foreman at The Patriot-News.

Loving the outdoors, he spent many days hunting, fishing, and traveling with his beloved wife, Kathleen. One of his favorite pastimes was playing the harmonica with his youngest brother, Alan.
