Walter Kaye Obituary

February 4, 1943 - August 30, 2015 Walter M. Kaye, retired attorney at Walter M. Kaye and Associates in Pasadena, CA passed away on August 30, 2015 at the age of 72. Walter was born in Philadelphia, PA on February 4, 1943 to Janet and Sam Kaye and raised in Beverly Hills, CA. He attended Beverly Hills High School, graduated from the University of Southern California and was a proud Trojan his whole life. He received his J.D. in 1968 from the University of San Diego. In addition to practicing law for over thirty years, Walter was an avid golfer, a talented writer, and loved cheering on USC at every opportunity but never more than at football games. Always quick-witted with an exceptional sense of humor, he was charismatic and a joy to be around. He also loved animals, especially the two family dogs. Perhaps closest to his heart were his two daughters, Susan and Jennifer and his adored "granddog", Chompers. Walter is survived by his daughters, his sisters, Lois Hubbs and Julie Kaye, nephew Douglas Wright and many friends. Funeral services will be held on October 4th at 11am at Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary at 6001 West Centinela Avenue in Los Angeles. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Walter's name to USC - University Advancement, 3551 Trousdale Parkway, Suite 160, Los Angeles, CA 90089-4017 or the Los Angeles Jewish Home at 18855 Victory Boulevard, Reseda, CA 91335.

I went through school with Walter from 5th to 12th grade and again at law school. Do I knew him from boy to man. Walter had a strong sense of ethics and responsibility. He was cheery and had a quick wit and smile. Im sure he´ll be sorely missed.
