Bob passed away at home surrounded by his loving family.

Bob is best described as an authentic man who loves God, family, friends, and his Chicago Bears. He retired from a long and successful career at Dun & Bradstreet. Well-loved and respected, Bob’s deep faith in God and sense of humor naturally drew people, and those qualities will continue to be a shining presence. We Love You!
Accept my condolences. I sat 2 seats behind Bob in 1-A and 2-A at St. Ignatius. I played basketball with him at Altgeld Park, and tripled with him to the senior prom. He was a good guy.
To Joan and family,
We remember Bob as part of the amazingly funny sitcom: Bob and Joan, Tony and Pat.
Also, the friend at their bedside.
We know how much he will be missed.
God Bless you,
Jan Gabriel and the Malestic family
