The Advocates Society extends its heartfelt condolences to Judge Tom Sianis and the entire Sianis family on the passing of his father, Sam “Cheezborger” Sianis, the legendary owner of the Billy Goat Tavern.

A true Chicago icon, Sam Sianis helped make the Billy Goat a beloved institution woven into the fabric of our city — famous for its unforgettable “Cheezborger, Cheezborger” legacy, and its deep Chicago roots.

The Billy Goat Tavern also holds special meaning for our organization, as we proudly celebrated our 2025 Installation there thanks to the tremendous generosity and support of Judge Tom Sianis and his family.

We are keeping the Sianis family close in our hearts during this difficult time. May Sam’s memory be eternal.
