Steve was an avid golfer and also enjoyed riding his Harley, playing Yahtzee, shooting pool and gardening.
He was preceded in death by his Father, Vasel Homza; Vasel translates to Basil in English, which was Stephen's middle name, and his Mother, Marion Rosser Homza. He is survived by his dear friend, Charlotte Crist; sister, W. Jean Homza of Washington, D.C.; daughter, Chief Kelli Rivera, USN, of Monterey, CA; son, Stephen "Max" Homza of Norfolk, VA and grandchildren Jonathan, Kiah, Justus and Kali.
