Obituary
Martin “Skip” Katz, age 77, of Schaumburg, beloved husband and best friend for 50 years of Barbara Katz, nee Merkin; loving father of Aric (Krystyna) Katz, Jamie (Justin) Graver, and Dana (Chris Taramelli) Katz; adored Grandpa and Papa of Adelyn, Makenna, Scarlett, Everleigh, Kaia, Mason, Palmer, Camden and another beautiful grandchild on the way; devoted son of the late Allen and the late Esther Katz; cherished son-in-law of the late Nate and the late Miriam Merkin; dear brother of the late Jonathan (Maria) Katz; fond brother-in-law of Joyce Merkin and the late Alan (Barbara) Merkin; treasured uncle and friend to many. Skip was witty, wise, and wonderfully sarcastic - a master of trivia and a lover of good food. A straight shooter with a soft heart, he protected and cared deeply for those he loved. Skip will be dearly missed by all.
