Lou was my attorney and dear friend for over 30 years. So many times, I would bring a 6 pack to his office in Evanston at the end of the day and we'd sit and talk for hours. The last time I saw him was at his home where he helped me with a real estate problem I was having. I never got a chance to thank him. Rest in Peace, my friend.

I'm sorry my father, Dr. John Clarke Tobin, wasn't aware of this. He was a long time friend of 70 years and was saddened today to find out of his passing, he would have been at the services if he had known. We are so sorry for your loss. Sincerely, the Tobin family.
