Steven Dietrich Gotham, age 81, of Fayetteville, PA passed away unexpectedly at home on Friday, December 1, 2023. Born in Illinois on June 3, 1942, he was the son of the late William and Mina M. Kuehl Gotham.
Steve was a graduate of Blackburn College, Carlinville, IL with a Bachelor of Arts degree and a graduate of Northern Illinois with his Master’s.
