(Jewish Group) 'Like a big, big oak tree': Remembering July 4 shooting victim Stephen Straus, 88 [View all]
Among the Jewish people killed in Monday’s mass shooting at the Highland Park Fourth of July parade was Stephen Straus, 88.
Describing him as a family patriarch and a busybody, Straus’ relatives said he seemed destined to live much longer.
“He had an unquenchable thirst for life,” his niece, Cynthia Straus, said Tuesday in an interview.
A financial adviser well past most people’s retirement age, Straus still took the train into the city for work five days a week, but also made time for after-work excursions to the Chicago symphony and the Art Institute.
