Because words can never express the deep loss my family is feeling at this sad time in our lives, may God shine his countenance down upon our family and may Steve be at peace with family and friends there to greet him in Gan Eden. B'Shalom

Lilly,

Ray and I are keeping you and your family close in our thoughts and prayers. This has been truly devastating and we can only hope that you are able to draw some solace from those around you that love you so. I will always remember Steven's laugh that filled the room and the way that his smile lit his eyes.

Our prayers are with you, Maria, Deana and our beloved friends, Elliott and Judith Ann.

If this is Dr. Steven Pritikin, the podiatrist, who had an office on So. Pulaski in the early 1980's, I am so so sorry to hear of his death. I only had to see him once or twice, the reason being he fixed up my feet so well and so completely

Dear Family,

I was saddened to learn of Steve's death from my mother. I promptly recalled our time together while we were at the U. of I in Urbana (a long time ago). In case I'm not remembered, my mother is Betty Itzkowitz Trager and I am the grandson of Steve Itzkowitz and Sarah Pritikin. My wife (who also met Steve in college) and I send our sympathy.

Love, Gary and Linda Trager

My heartfelt condolences go out to Maria, his daughter, his mother, all his brothers, and especially his sister Sheryl. May the Good Lord be with all of you through this trying period.

Maria and Deana:

I am truly saddened by your loss. I had no idea Steve was even sick. I talked to him not long ago and he never said a thing.

Myself, Dawn and RJ shared many wonderful times in Bridgeview. When Myron and I first broke up, Steve was such a wonderful help, I do not know what I would have done without him. He saved my life in many ways.

His family and his grandchildren meant so much to him, I know you will miss him terribly.

At any time, if there is anything that I can do, please let me know. I am stunned. My prayers are with you and your family.
