Obituary

Dr. Jay Stephen Margolis, of Baltimore, Maryland, passed away on Thursday, July 21st, 2022 at the age of 83. He is survived by his wife, Sheila Margolis (nee Engel); children, Stacey Margolis (Andrew Franta) and Robin (David) Winer; and grandchildren, Charles and Marcus Franta and Ruby and Solomon Winer. He was predeceased by his sister, Susan Tinanoff and parents, Celia and Phillip Margolis.

Steve was a long practicing and dedicated physician who was beloved by his many patients and respected in his field. He was never too busy to talk to or see his patients, in whom he took a genuine interest. An avid golfer, Steve never forgot a hole or a golf course. Because of his knowledge of the game, he was frequently consulted for advice as to where and how to play. What his family will remember most about him was his passion for life (napping with his cat, having good food and engaging in heated debates with his daughters) as well as his incredible sense of humor; he could see the absurdity in most things, including himself. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He will be sorely missed.
