He was born on May 20, 1921 in Providence, RI to James and Evridiki (Papadopoulos) Dostoglous. Steven was the beloved husband of Mildred (Samos) Dostou for over 60 years. He entered the U.S. Army in 1942 and served in London and Belgium for three years as a Staff Sergeant in the B Company 942d Engineers AVN Topographic Battalion. After returning from the war, Steven received his BA in Accounting from Bryant College in 1948 and then returned to Massachusetts to work at the family business, New England Coffee Company as the Finacial Officer.

Steven was a founder of the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Lexington, MA where he served as Treasurer for many years. He was also a founder and treasurer of the Lexington Minuteman chapter of the Ahepa. Throughout his life, his greatest joys were golfing, gardening, and spending time with his beloved family and friends at his residences in Massachusetts and Florida.
