Kathryn Bantis

Family Tribute:

Life is for the living so we must go on to see us through when those we love have gone.

But those who have departed now claim their sweet reward, exchanging life on earth for life forever with our Lord.

May God, who calls our loved ones home, be close to you. May he enfold you with his love and give you comfort.

We miss you.

Your loving family,

Artie and Louis Bantis

I first met Kathy when she was a member of the J&H internal audit group. Later she transfered to the Seattle office where she became head of the Finance dept. and I became part of her staff. She was a very hard worker and very professional. We shared many long hours (especially during budget times) and also the more relaxed and good times. I will always miss being able to talk to her. Even tho' I had retired we still chatted.

I met Kathy only a few times, but I knew from what I heard about her through Tina Girk here in St. Louis, that she was very much a no nonsense kind of lady. I admired her from afar for her dedication, determination and direct approach. I am honored to have worked with her and I am so thankful that we had The Champ in our corner.

I used to work at the Chicago Office about a year ago, and I remember Kathy on the 21st floor. Whenever I needed something, I always remember her polite attitude, and grace. Two months before 9/11/01 I ran into her during lunch, and her last words to me was "Do you need any thing else?" as a joke. We both smiled and said goodbye.

Every other day Kathy and I run into each other at lunch. We always laughed and said one of these days we had to actually take time to have lunch together. We only did a few times.

When Kathy moved here, she was told to look me up by a Seattle colleague. We had that bond to talk about. She always had a trip planned on just done for us to talk about.

Kathy had dozens of visitors in Chicago. She loved being the hostess. She adored all the friends who visited- even the ones who stayed too long.

She was totally dedicated to her job and no matter what the demands from Don were she always found time to stay late, work faster, whatever.

For about a year, Kathy & I had adjoining offices (on the 21st floor in Chicago) where I could knock on her wall & bug her while she was trying to manage the "numbers" for the region.

Despite all my attempts @ playfully antagonizing her, she maintained a great attitude & was always good for a kind word, espcially when my GB assignment wasn't going exactly right.

There are many in Chicago who miss her great disposition.
