Tom's Latest Interactions
Bob was a great guy. We met in elementary school and got to be very close friends in high school when we were both distance runners at NTW. Some of my best memories in high school involved the camaraderie of the people on the cross-country and track teams, including Bob, Gordon Bess, Tom Lambert, Jeff Carlson, Vic Devinatz, Mitch Hirsch, the Knorr brothers, Bill Hersh, Quentin Bruhn, Sandy Fitchet, Bill Richardson, Jim Jacobson, the Holm brothers, and many others. Jerry Kates and Jerry Parsons were our coaches, and Doug Chase helped coach us in track in spring 1973 (I believe that might have been Doug's first coaching gig in his long and distinguished coaching career).
Bob and I stayed in touch through college and when he went to law school. I often joined him and some of his law school friends for periodic dinners in Chinatown, where the family of one of his classmates owned a restaurant. We continued to stay in touch after he embarked on his law career and we were both working downtown. One of my biggest surprises was after I'd purchased season tickets to Chicago Bears games through a friend in 1984 and 1985. As our group took our seats (we were in the north end zone) for the first game in 1984, I heard a familiar voice behind me, calling out to me. It was Bob with his group!
After I moved from Chicago to Phoenix in 1986, Bob and I stayed in touch but only saw each other in person occasionally when I'd come back to visit my folks in Glenview. He sadly left us way too soon. Rest in peace, Bob.
