Stephen H. Gross

GROSS, Stephen H. of Belmont, entered into eternal rest on Friday, June 27, 2025 in the Belmont Manor Nursing Center.  He was 86 years old.  Born in St. Louis, Missouri,  Stephen lived in Belmont for many years.  A former Jesuit, Stephen worked for and retired from Care Dimensions Hospice as a Hospice Chaplain.  This is a profession that only a select few, through a special calling, are able to help those in hospice.  Through the power of prayer, Steve was able to console those in the hospice program, giving them hope throughout their illness.
