A Love of Law & Life
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.
