Robert L. Parkinson Jr.

A great man sorely missed

Dear Parkinson Family, my name is Yuriksy. I had the honor to do Mr.Parkinson’s introduction at the JA Chicago Business Hall Of Fame event in 2016. I was extremely saddened to hear about his loss.Through God's love, I pray that He grant you the comfort that He alone can give. My heart is with you all.

Bob was a wonderful man and Betty so special. I met them when they were searching real estate options in downtown Chicago. We spent many months looking and Betty and I would have coffee to discuss options, details, and ideas. I met Bob at their home in Northbrook and I made numerous spreadsheets to accurately show him the good investment options. I'm so saddened to read this but so thankful today I did. Betty, if you read this know how precious you both were to me. A single Mom who knew...

I did not know Bob well but my impression was he was a gracious and kind man. He always made a point of greeting a person and sharing a smile and some kind words. I liked him and greatly respected him as a wonderful husband and father and successful business man. Both Betty and Bob have always been there for others offering kindnesses and giving their time to those in need. He is definitely missed and remembered by me as a wonderful man.

A great man, thoughts are with betty and all the family xx

Prayers to you, Betty, and your family in the loss of Rob. May God wrap you in his loving arms and give you peace.

So very sorry to hear of Bobs passing. Our hearts go out to Betty and their family. We will remember Bob as such a warm, welcoming person who would always greet you by name with a kind word. What a terrible loss. Our prayers are with you all.
God bless.

Deepest sympathy to Betsy and family on your sad loss.
