Obituary of Lawrence Stephen Katz

Please share a memory of Lawrence to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.

Lawrence Stephen Katz, 82, of Freehold, passed away on Thursday, January 16, 2025 at CentraState Medical Center. He was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY.

Larry is survived by his sons Jay Katz of Brooklyn, NY, Michael Katz (wife Carla) of Charlotte, NC, and Jonathan Katz of Elmwood Park, NJ and brother Sandy Katz (wife Debbie) of Naples, FL. Larry was predeceased by his parents Leo and Sophie Katz and his sister Linda Gold (late partner Bill Germano).

Larry was a graduate of Stuyvesant High School and Hunter College. He met his late wife Gloria while he was a student at Hunter College and she was a student at Queens College. Upon marriage they settled in Kew Gardens, Queens before moving to Freehold, NJ soon after the birth of their second child. Prior to his retirement, Larry had a successful career as a CPA in NYC. Larry cut his teeth as a CPA at Kohlreiter & Spandorf and made a name for himself at Touche Ross (one of the Big Eight firms). He was a partner at Saltzer Lassar & Piccinnini, which became part of CBIZ and eventually (after Larry's retirement) was acquired by Marcum LLP.

Larry bravely battled and conquered leukemia in 2005. While he beat the disease, the intense chemotherapy decimated his legs and severely diminished his mobility. Larry was an avid sports fan and loyally supported the Mets, Jets, and Rangers. He closely followed college football and was an amateur NFL draftnik. Until his mobility became impaired, Larry enjoyed fishing in freshwater lakes.

Friends and family are invited to gather on Wednesday, January 22, 2025 from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at Freeman Funeral Home, 344 Route 9 North, Manalapan, NJ. A funeral service will be held at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, January 22 at the funeral home. Interment will follow at Mount Sinai Cemetery, 374 Highway 79, Marlboro, NJ. In lieu of sending anything to the family, they kindly ask that you consider making a donation to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society using the following link: https://diy.lls.org/LarryKatz
