He was born June 6, 1915 in Sherman Station, Maine the son of Spurgeon and Nellie (Robinson) Naas. Steve graduated from Sherman High School in 1934 during the heart of the depression. As work was hard to find, in October 1934 he joined the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) where he worked as part of the Forestry Department on road construction in New Hampshire until August 1936. Having played baseball in High School, he participated in the CCC camp baseball team, where he was "spotted" and invited to pitch a game for the semi-professional North Conway team against the Portland Shells. He held them to one hit through four innings before being "batted out of the box." After leaving the CCC, he worked a variety of jobs including harvesting potatoes, working in the woods, and in the general store in Sherman Station. In 1939 Steve headed to Lincoln, Nebraska to attend the Lincoln Airplane and Flying School where he became a registered pilot and began a life-long love of aviation. In October 1940 he joined the U.S. Army Air Corps and was assigned to Mitchell Field, New York. In 1942 he was appointed to the Aviation Cadets as a pilot. In January 1943 he was appointed as Second Lieutenant, Air Corps Reserve where he piloted the B-24 Liberator and the B-26 Marauder for which he and his family were always proud. Steve married Rebecca "Beckie" Jane Gould on November 27, 1943 in Savannah, Georgia. Their wonderful marriage brought much joy to them and their family for the next 67 years. After the war, the couple returned to Maine to begin their family. He graduated from Husson College in May 1951 and the young family moved to Presque Isle in 1952 where he was employed by the Maine Potato Growers, Inc. and later the Farm Credit Bureau as an outstanding accountant. A longtime member of Bethany Baptist Church. During his retirement years he became interested in his genealogy. He authored and published The Naas Family of Nova Scotia about his family and also wrote a history of his mother's family. Most recently he found that his family could be traced back to the Mayflower. Steve was predeceased by his parents in 1959 and his wife Beckie, the love of his life, on October 3, 2010. Also predeceasing him were his brother Harry W. Naas and his sister Freida D. Naas. Stephen is survived by his beloved sons, Paul S. Naas of Windham and Martin J. Naas and his wife Margaret of Gardiner. Grandsons Jonathan P. Naas and his wife Carrie of Beaumont, TX and Stephen L.
