S
tephen A. Bromberg,
90, of Bloomfield Hills,
passed away on Sept. 3,
2020, after 67 years of mar-
riage to Carol Altman. She
was the love of his life, best
friend and cook; he was chief
provider and washer of pots
and pans.
On their wedding day, Sept.
1, 1953, at Temple
Israel, Karl Haas
played Bach, largely
unknown to both
families but much
admired by the bride
and groom. It turned
out to be an unsea-
sonably warm day,
pity the poor brides-
maids as they stood,
melting, in the area
decorated with elegant tall,
hot candles where they were.
When the ceremony was over,
and the contract sealed, Steve
and Carol kissed so long that
the audience began to chuckle;
the couple then rushed down
the aisle to the future.
In time, there arrived three
children: David, Nancy (who
died several years ago) and
Daniel, and then five mar-
velous grandchildren, Rafi
(Rafael), Leah, Pauline, Alexis
and Maxime. Dan, father of
the last three, is married to
Sophie, who is much loved
by all.
Steve graduated from the
University of Michigan under-
grad and then law school in
1953 as a Phi Beta Kappa
scholar; he received the pres-
tigious Fielding H. Yost award
as the best scholar/athlete of
his graduation year.
Tennis always played a
major role in his life. Before
he attended the University of
Michigan, he had won city
and state championships,
whose trophies covered every
surface in his home office;
while at the university, he was
co-captain of the tennis team.
Until his late 80s he was an
avid tennis player, singles vs.
younger opponents to the last.
(He played doubles
once with Carol
after which she was
sent back to the
kitchen.)
Steve passed
the Michigan Bar
examination while
still in law school;
before long, he was
a partner and pres-
ident of Bromberg,
Robinson, Cohn and
Burgoyne, which merged with
Butzel Long. There he was a
partner and then president,
retiring in 2019.
During those years, he
became a director and secre-
tary of the Detroit Symphony
Orchestra, a director and
president of the Jewish
Vocational Service and of the
Detroit Tennis and Squash
Club. Other longtime affil-
iations included Franklin
Hills Country Club and
Congregation Shaarey Zedek.
