Robert R. "Bob" Traxler

The attached picture is of five NCHS student band members performing on stage, probably during a basketball game. Bob's holding a pair of drumsticks, but usually played the trombone which he brought to our Chicago dwelling (6600 North-near Loyola U) in an attempt to entertain at a local beatnik joint (before hippies; this was 1961, after all.) Our thrown-together musical act was a bust but it was fun giving the idea a shot. Most of the evening was spent drinking expresso on teeny tables...

Kerry and Family
Sorry for the loss of your father.You all are in my prayers.

Kelly Kerry and Keith, God bless! Remember all them good times and hold them dear for your father hasn't gone far! He's here with you all watching over and guiding you! Hugs!

So sorry to learn of Bob's passing. He was a pistol and just a genuinely wonderful man. My husband and I used to chat with him at Ruth's Chris and Temper Grille. We were always so pleasantly surprised when we would run into him. His love for his family was very obvious and it warmed our hearts to hear him speak of you. He will be greatly missed.

Knew Bob from High School even though I went to Washington - we all get together at Azars on Western Ave... will miss you and thoughts go out to your family.
