Robert B. Merrifield

I have known Bob since the 1980's. He was on a star dock at Belmont Harbor, before he moved to Montrose Harbor. He had not moved to Joliet yet. With Joe Healy and Tom Clark we had many great Wednesday nights sailing on Lake Michigan. We also even had winter trips to the BVI with Bob and Pat. It makes sailing your favorite hobby. It was also great to be there for all the great conversations mainly with Tom and Bob, with a beer or martini in hand, after a sail. God bless...

A great reporter, colleague and friend.

My condolences to Patty and the family.

Bob was a wonderful man who I had numerous great conversations with . I was lucky enough to be able to attend the Thursday afternoons with Bob Jerry and my father Dan Maher. He now can join the lunch crowd upstairs in Heaven. Dave Maher
