Stephen Polychrones, age 100, passed away peacefully on December 25, 2023, at his residence in South Easton, surrounded by his family. He was predeceased by his wife Despa V. (Vlamos), who passed away in 2019. Born in Cambridge, he was the son of the late John and Demetra (Moran) Polychrones. He was a longtime resident of both Stoughton and Mashpee. In his 20's, he was proud to serve his country in WWII, working as a medic in the U.S. Army, in England and France, and received a battle star from the Battle of the Bulge.

He was a longtime member of the Amicable Lodge A.F. and A.M. of Cambridge, and the Early Bird American Legion Post 0297. Above all, he loved spending time with his family and was a devoted father, grandfather and great-grandfather who will be greatly missed.
