Steven Kip Steinmetz, 40, of West Hartford,
husband of Jennifer Glickman Steinmetz, died Wednesday, November 9, 2005 after a valiant battle with a glioblastoma brain
tumor. Steven was born in West
Hartford. He graduated from
Hall High School in 1983, George Washington University in 1988, and Widener University School of Law in 1993. He was admitted
to the Bar of both Pennsylvania and Connecticut. After graduating from law school and marrying
Jennifer, Steven clerked for the late Samuel L. Rogers of the Pennsylvania
Commonwealth Court of Appeals. From there he served as Assistant Consumer
Advocate under the office of Attorney General. There, he acquired great skills
in utility law. This led to Steven’s return to Connecticut where he joined the law firm of Day, Berry and Howard, LLP. Steven always embraced life - he
ate it up! Heliskiing, sky diving, and traveling the world. He loved his family
and his friends and we will all miss him. Steven is survived by his wife
Jennifer and their two children: Anaka Kate and Scott Jacob Steinmetz; his
mother: Marilyn Shapiro Steinmetz and her companion Dr. Stephen Lieberman; his
brother: Jay and his wife Stephanie Brown Steinmetz and their son Samuel of
Baltimore, MD; his aunt: Merle Mishel of Chapel Hill, NC; and uncle and aunt
Mark and Kathy Shapiro of Burlington, CT. Steven was predeceased by his father
Harvey Steinmetz of West Hartford and Hollywood, FL. Steven is further survived
by the greatest, truest friends a person could wish for. Funeral services will
be held on Friday, November 11th, at 1:00 PM in the Sanctuary of Beth El Temple, 2626 Albany Ave., West Hartford with Rabbi James Rosen officiating. Interment will
follow in the Beth El Temple Cemetery, Avon. A memorial period will be observed at his home, 33 Lovelace Dr., West Hartford, through Sunday evening. In lieu of donations in
