Miss you Bob.

In memory of one of our favorite family members. Your lively conversations and wonderful company will be sorely missed.
Ken, Marianne, Clarice and Zachary (Strzyzynski) Swanson

My condolences to Bob's family. I remember his strong deep voice answering questions about Social Security on radio. He was so patient with my mother, helping her to understand her benefits when she was became ill. Bob was one of the more caring people I knew. He will be missed.

Bob was a classmate of my late husband Tom and his late brother Jim at St. Benedict high school. They remained life long friends. Bob visited Tom and Jim at their hospitals and nursing homes, and also drove their mom to visit them. He kept in contact with me until his recent illness. What a gentleman and fine person. Bob, thank you for your decades of kindness and your inspiring presence in our lives. -- Fran Walker Sternik

My heartfelt condolences to Bob's family and friends on their loss of this kind man. As a member of the Galter Life Center, I knew Bob from the senior exercise classes we participated in there. His cheerful, friendly presence will be very much missed.

Bob was a gentle humble person who will be sorely missed by those who knew him. Our deepest condolences and prayers to his family and friends. The Jerger Family

Bob and I worked at the northside Social Security office together in the late 70's. Bob was one of the kindest, gentlest people I've ever met. I am so sorry for your loss.

Bob was a great guy. Working in Loyola University Alumni Development for a long time, I have gotten to know and meet with Bob many times. He was such a kind and gentle and thoughtful man and very generous to Loyola University which he loved very much. We will miss him so much.

My late husband and I were Bob's friends for more than 40 years. Bob was a regular at the periodic poker games, and a genuine friend to everyone he met. Mary Coonda
