Stephen George Lubar

Stephen George Lubar, age 70, of Naples, Florida passed away on May 6, 2023. Born on February 3, 1953 in Mexico City, Mexico he was the son of Robert and Patricia Lubar of New York, New York and brother to John, Nicholas, and Andrew.

Steve was raised in Port Washington where he was a devoted long-distance runner and tennis player. He is a 1971 graduate of Paul D. Schreiber High School who went on to Swarthmore College graduating in 1975. At Schreiber, Steve played clarinet in the band and earned varsity letters in cross-country, wrestling, and track. During the 1970’s, Steve regularly ran in road races in the New York City area as well as competing in the Boston and New York Marathons multiple times. Steve worked for several years at Shore Tennis Club and later ran Steve Lubar’s Olympic Village shop on Port Boulevard.

During his lifetime, Steve managed many pro-shops and coordinated tournaments at multiple tennis clubs in Florida, Hawaii, and other locations. Steve made many friends over his lifetime and he could easily engage in conversations with anyone about the sports world and current events. Ultimately, Steve “retired” to the Naples area to enjoy the climate and to be close to the friends he made in southwest Florida.

Steve is survived by his three brothers, John, Nicholas, Andrew; nieces, Candace Lubar, Katherine Lubar, Tansey Summers-Lubar; nephews Eric Lubar, Geordie Summers-Lubar; many cousins; and Aunt Toni Raney. He will be missed by family and friends scattered across North America.
