Stephen G. Katz

My condolences to Barb and the Katz family . Enjoyed working with Steve in early Illinois school district labor conflicts. He was enjoyable to work with and had a great sense of humor. Now as to his support of the packers vs MN Vikings? RIP Steve and cheers to a life well lived.

I share in Barb, Nate and Lily's loss. I have loved Steve, too. He was on my side through a 5-year stretch of trying to get justice after a school district fired me in 1981. He fought for me at a time I felt alone, and I knew he would always be on my side. In the years since then I have hooked up with him and his family many times when I traveled through northern Illinois. Sally and I thought enough of him to have him serve as our best man when we married in 1990. My memory of him will always...

My condolences Barbara & to your children on the loss of Steve. I grew up with him in Marinette. I even remember when on my honeymoon in Wisconsin, seeing him in the hospital in Milwaukee.

I will always remember Steve for his great wit, brilliant mind, and love of family. During my time with RPS 205, Steve was always a breath of fresh air. He was the only lawyer I worked with that always put students first rather than the politics of board members.

Steve and I go back to the old neighborhood in Marinette. I always enjoyed spending time together. I would tease about him being excitable. Passionate, he could be. He will be missed. My heartfelt condolences to Steve’s family.

May Stephen's memory be for many blessings. I have many wonderful memories of our family trips to Marinette , including one to Stevie's bar mitzvah in 1962 . ( I was 10 years old ) More recently , Stephen had my wife Sandy and I over for Sunday brunch when we were in Chicago for the Chicago Jewish festival (that was about 10 years ago ). We watched 8mm movies of his bar mitzvah. My mother Florence was born in Marinette( in 1921) , as was most of the Lapp and Katz cousins. The memories...

I always appreciated working through problems for our respective clients with Steve. He was smart, hardworking but most importantly he had class. He knew how to disagree without being disagreeable. Although I must say that more often then not we analyzed the situation similarly. He will be missed. To his family, please accept my condolences.

Our heartfelt condolences. From our years together at the Katz firm, through the Beth Judea years and more recently, we always enjoyed Steve´s sweet nature, even temper, and great sense of humor. The service today was meaningful. May Steve´s memory be a blessing to your family always.
