Saco-Stephen Philip Cantara was born on December 25, 1950 in Biddeford. Steve was a kind man, very hard working and had a way about him that everyone loved. Steve was an avid fan of golf whether playing or watching it. He was a beloved member at Deep Brook Golf Course in Saco, and really had a passion for the sport.
