🕊️🐢 Ocean City Mourns the Loss of a Local Legend – Steve Pappas
The Ocean City community has lost a man who helped shape a piece of our town's history.
Steve Pappas, who recently celebrated his 72nd birthday, was instrumental in transforming Ocean City's Original Greene Turtle from a local beach-town hangout into a successful regional sports bar brand.
As locals here in Ocean City, we have tremendous respect for everything Steve built, the opportunities he created, and the lasting impact he made on our community. His vision helped turn a hometown establishment into a name recognized well beyond the Eastern Shore.
His legacy goes far beyond business. It's about community, dedication, and showing what can be accomplished right here in our own backyard.
From all of us at Delmarva Coast Captured, we extend our heartfelt condolences to his wife, family, friends, and everyone whose lives he touched.
Rest in peace, Steve Pappas. You will truly be missed, but your legacy will live on. ❤️
