Obituary
Stephen H. Katz, 75, passed in the early afternoon of June 20, 2017; beloved husband for 30 years of Betty Lindquist, loving father of Liana (Erik) Billings and Sacha (Kevin) Krasney, proud grandpa of five; devoted son of Libby Singer and the late Leonard Katz, dear brother of Laury (Cindy) and David (Laura) Katz. When Stephen spoke, people listened. With chosen words and calmness, he had the ability to lead and guide people. He leaves an indelible mark on all who knew him. He was Betty’s best friend and the love of her life. He was a stalwart and source of wisdom for his daughters, Liana and Sacha. His grandchildren loved him dearly for his kind eyes, gentleness, and knack for reading the best bedtime stories. He was a mentor to aspiring lawyers and always willing to give of his time to help colleagues. He began his career in the Judge Advocate General’s Corp during the Vietnam War and was a founding partner of Katz, Goldstein, & Warren. Among his professional distinctions, he was elected as one of the top 20 divorce lawyers in the Chicagoland area by Northshore Magazine, a member in the Leading Lawyer Network, and a fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. He retired after a nearly 50-year career, known as a formidable matrimonial lawyer. He had a quick wit and sense of humor, adored classical music and opera, was an avid cook, reader, handball player and golfer, and had a never-ending thirst for knowledge. While Stephen spent a career as a well-respected attorney, his love and passion was always his family. He was a dedicated and loving husband, son, father, brother and grandfather.
