Stephen Valentine Whiskeyman, 62

February 06, 2016

Stephen Valentine Whiskeyman, 62, of Lancaster, PA passed away on February 6, 2016 at Lancaster Regional Medical Center after a long battle with cancer. Born in Lancaster, he was the son of the late Kenneth Whiskeyman & Fern (Kissinger) Kleinstuber.

He was a 1971 graduate of Lampeter-Strasburg High School. Steve played football in high school, and later played semi-pro football with the York Lions in the late 1970s. He earned an Associate’s degree in business administration from Broward Community College in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Steve was very proud of his Open Pit BBQ Service and would travel around Lancaster County selling his BBQ chicken. He was known to many throughout Lancaster and York counties as the Chicken Man, and to his close friends simply as Whiskey. He also adored his cat, Tigger, who he rescued as a little kitten.

Surviving are his two brothers: Douglas Whiskeyman and Kenneth Whiskeyman, Jr., both of Lancaster, PA; and two sisters: Ellen Kleinstuber of Eagleville, PA and Deborah (Whiskeyman) Massion, wife of Harold, of Deer Park, IL.
In addition to his parents, Steve was preceded in death by his step-father, Robert Kleinstuber.
Friends will be received from 10-11 AM on Monday, February 15, 2016 at the Charles F. Snyder Funeral Home & Crematory, 414 E. King Street, Lancaster, PA 17602. A Funeral Service to honor Steve’s Life will be held at 11 AM following the visitation. Interment will be at Conestoga Memorial Park, Lancaster.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society, 314 Good Drive, Lancaster, PA 17603 or to Hospice & Community Care, 685 Good Drive, Box 4125, Lancaster, PA 17604.

“Do you want any sauce with that” ?  
Steve served up BBQ Chicken outside our music store in Lancaster for several years. He always had a story or news to tell his customers while preparing their meal. I think Steve had a tuff life and yet he really had a good run with his chicken set up. he used to tell me, he was going to move to the beach cause thats where the chicken is selling. he made me laugh when I tried to talk better business ideas with him. Once I said he should put asign on his chicken rig so people know when he’s open and he said” thsat one more thing I gotta do”  It was a pleasure to know him.  Rick Hamilton
