David Dineff Obituary

David C. Dineff, 73, a long-time neighborhood attorney who enjoyed taking care of his many clients for over 45 years from his offices first in the Village of Summit and then in the Village of Justice. Much loved and cherished by his wife and soulmate, Suzie, (nee Raetz); this July they would have been married for 40 years. He was so very loved and adored his children, Christi and David Laz. Beloved brother of Alan (Jane), Laurel (Ronald Dames) and the late Louis C. and Beverly Dineff; son of the late Christ and Dora Dineff; and son-in-law of the late George and Joan Raetz. Beloved uncle and cousin to many. David was outgoing, kind, and was considered a friend to everyone who met him. He also loved animals, and along with their family pets, David and Suzie (who worked with him for over 44 years) always had rescue cats at his law office, which calmed many a nervous client. David cherished his family and all his friends and never passed up an opportunity to go to his second home in Las Vegas, go out to eat, see a movie, catch a White Sox game, or really any opportunity to simply spend time with the people he loved the most.
