Steve E. Bumpus
Bumpus, Steve E. passed away suddenly on Saturday, April 24th. Steve lived his life to the fullest, celebrating all that life had to offer. He graduated in 1982 from the University of Illinois with a bachelor's degree in finance and began his career at the Chicago Board of Trade. In 1986, he joined Greenwich Capital Markets which subsequently merged with the Royal Bank of Scotland. Steve was an Elder and active member of the Fourth Presbyterian Church of Chicago, serving on several committees. Steve was passionate about teaching 4th/5th grade Sunday School and was a tireless supporter of the church's youth ministry. He was an avid skier and loved the slopes at Alta, UT especially the Glades on powder days trying to keep up with his daughter. He enjoyed catching the "big one" in Key West, FL and made a "mean" blackened grouper sandwich. He was a die-hard Cub's fan and wouldn't answer the phones during an Illini basketball or football game. Steve will be remembered for his infectious laugh and his genuine interest in all people he came across both young and old. He was a compassionate and generous man. Steve left us with many memories and he will be missed by his friends and family. Steve was the beloved husband of Irene (nee Dzido), loving father of Chelsea, loving son of Fred and Sue Bumpus, loving son-in-law of Eugene and Mary Dzido, loving brother and brother-in-law of Sally (Mike) Cavanaugh, Chris, Diane and Grace Dzido, loving uncle of Katie, Kellie and Kristie.
