Steven Winkelman Obituary


Steven A. Winkelman  
Steven A. Winkelman, a devoted husband and father, passed away peacefully on July 5, 2018 at age 89, with his family by his side. Steve, an outstanding lawyer, was a forerunner in modern estate planning. He also was a law professor at Georgetown Law School for 30 years. He was born in Philadelphia and raised in Washington, DC. and graduated from The Wharton School of Business at The University of Pennsylvania and the Georgetown Law School, where he also received his LLM in Taxation. Steve practiced law in the District of Columbia and Maryland for over 50 years and served as the president of the D.C. Bar Association. He was a fellow of the American College of Probate Counsel and the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel. Sought after by family, friends, and clients for his on-point advice, people were drawn to Steve's compassion and commitment. Steve was an avid tennis player, with his always unique personal style. Anne, his beautiful wife of 64 years, loved her "Mr. Wonderful", and he was eternally devoted to her. A beloved father of four, Susan Hock (Alan), Nancy Winkelman, John Winkelman, and Michael Winkelman (Donna), Steve is also survived by six grandchildren and his loving sister, Ann Brown (Don).

Dear Anne

My brother Greg sent me Stevens obituary and I am so very sad. I have so many fond memories of babysitting Susan, Nancy, John and I think Michael was born by then. You were the best neighbors on Overhill rd. My thoughts go to you and your whole family. Love, Judi Talcott McCormick

I have found memories of working with Steve in the Bar Association and in other matters over the years. His capacity for energy was unsurpassed and was over whelming. I enjoyed his company and shall miss him. My condolences. NDW

Steve was a very valued friend and confidant for many years. He was my wife's tax professor, my estate lawyer, my neighbor, but mostly importantly my friend and a mentor. I will miss our regular lunches, but will forever remember all the stories and advice. My sincerest condolences to Ann and the rest of the family - whom he adored.
