A resident of Cape Canaveral, since 2002, Steve was a communicant and an Usher for Our Savior’s Catholic Church, Cocoa Beach, Fla.
Steve and his wife, Cindy were married 41 years on June 3, 2020. His survivors include his children and (grandchildren): son Stephen Alicino and Wendy (Leah Isabella); daughter Nicole and David Weinick, (Madison and Austin); daughter Donna Alicino and Andrew Brogan (Declan). Siblings and their spouses include: his sisters – Joan Greenberg, Regina Desvernine (Richard), Trish Orchard (Trevor), Andrea Murphy (Robert), Monica Alicino, and Veronica Alicino (Tim Hill); and his big brother, Joseph F Alicino, Jr. (Maureen).

Steve was a very interesting man with lots of stories that I wish I heard more of. He used to always say "did Cindy tell you about the time she met..." or "did Cindy tell you she did this" and the answer would always be "no" because Cindy doesn't have the gift of gab like he did. Now Cindy you're going to have to pass on those stories to your grandson so he knows what an amazing grandfather he had. I never even knew, we haven't known each other as long, only about 8 years but I'm looking forward to many more my friend Cindy. Hang in there and remember the good times!!

Steve was my very first playmate, as he was less than three years older than I. He always felt responsible for me and had to convince the neighborhood boys to let me play cowboys (as a cowgirl), with them. When he eventually went off to kindergarten and left me home, I was so annoyed! Nevertheless, his protectiveness continued throughout the years and, when the time came, he patiently taught me how to drive. Although as adults we were no longer geographically close, the early connection never deminished. We all had hoped to have Steve in our lives much longer, but God, in his mercy, decided to bring him home.
I’ll never forget being your sidekick, dear brother. Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Love and prayers to Cindy and to Steve’s many other loved ones.

Steve was always upbeat and wearing a smile everyday of his life. Steve had a flare for a never ending stream of creative business ideas ; it was as though you could see the ticker tape of ideas streaming across his forehead every morning as he munched away on his McDonalds breakfast with OJ.
Steve seemed to live life and his dreams to the fullest.
Thinking of you "little sister Cindy" and my niece Donna during this difficult time.
Love your sis Deb

I remember Steve as always having a smile on his face and making me laugh. We always had a great time together during visits. He and his friend John took my friend Bob and I to a Rangers game in NYC. We were probably 16. What a great memory. Love you Steve, you will be missed.
