Calvin J. Tobin

We did not always agree, but whatever position he espoused, he did so for what he felt was in the best interests of the community. I've missed our sometimes robust discussions.

I worked with Cal building Kohl Children's Museum in Glenview. He was a wonderful person and I grew as a manager after working with him. The world just doesn't create people like Cal everyday. I hope to leave a legacy like Cal did someday. His family must be extremely proud of his accomplishments.

I had the good fortune to have had Calvin Jay Tobin as my mentor while with Loebl, Schlossman and Hackl for over 30 years.
Cal was the ultimate architect with a strong sense of design,construction detailing, as well as the business side of architecture.
He was always ready to give advice (which I took) and spoke warmly of his family, especially Joan.
Cal was one of the most influential persons in my life. He will be missed.

I was fortunate to meet and work with Cal in the early 70's while I (we) were at Michael Reese Hospital. Cal was a gentleman and a true professional.
