As a former Northern Trust officer and friend of Bob, I am saddened by his passing. His passion for doing the right thing and asking each of us what we could do "for the good of the order" set a standard of commitment and ethics that set him apart from others. His counsel and positive attitude will be missed by all who had the good fortune to count him as a friend.

We have many fond memories of him that we will carry in our hearts forever. It was truly our privilege to have known him. Our thoughts a d our prayers are with you.

To the family of Mr. Bob Reusche;
Mr. Reusche was the Board President of PADS Lake County (formerly PADS Crisis Services) when I started employment there. I came to know Mr. Reusche through his tireless work for PADS and I grew to have tremendous respect for his knowledge and caring nature. He will be VERY sorely missed! With deep, deep sympathy, Audrey J. Carman

Mrs. Reusche and family,
Our sympathy goes out to all of you. Remembering all the wonderful times we spent together as families when we were younger! I'm sure my Mom, Dad and Uncle David are sharing a toast to all those great memories with him right now up in heaven.
I never realized what accomplishments he had made in his life. He was truly and wonderful man.

I had the pleasure of watching Mr. Reusche preside over the Chicago Police Pension Board. He always appeared to be a very kind, considerate and compassionate man. My sympathies to his family.

To Mary, Emily, and all the Reusche family, Frank and I send you our deepest sympathy for your loss of a wonderful husband and father. We had the pleasure of knowing Bob Reusche only through stories passed on to us by our son Michael Lavelle who greatly admired Mr. Reusche. Those stories tell us that Bob Reusche had the multi-faceted talents to stir up in the hearts of others a love of God, a delight in people, a joy in humor, and a contentment in generosity. The world will miss him. May he join the angels and the saints, and may you find comfort in the Lord's healing love.

Dear Mary, Emily, Anne, Alec and the entire family,
I am so sorry for your deep loss! It is my deepest wish that your anguish be healed now that Bob is at peace and free from pain. No words I might conjure can express how much I –and many others—adored Bob. Sitting here at the Foundation's office I look around and see nearly every space touched by him and every project infused with his ceaseless spirit of giving. Bob always demonstrated the utmost care and concern for the welfare of people. Seeing him each day in the office was truly a gift. Moreover, due to Bob's passion for trains and the rail system, he will forever receive credit for steering my son, Gabriel, into the field of engineering. There is a big hole in the world with the loss of Bob. I believe that his greatest gift to each of us is as a teacher and together we can each carry forth his message of giving back to others. With love and affection, Susan

Dear Mary,
Dave and I are simply heartbroken. I cannot adequately express how much of an impact Bob has had on my career, my life, and my heart. He was a righteous man of impeccable character, a true gentleman, a true mensch. Our sincere sympathies to your entire family and indeed to our community for a huge loss.
With much love and affection,

Dear Emily and Family,
I don't have to tell you what a wonderful man your father was and his legacy will continue on for many years to come. I was fortunate enough to know him and laugh with him. He will be greatly missed, but we will celebrate his memory and continue to share the stories that made him so wonderful.
Much Love,
Liz Ropele, Rick and Joe Schlude

Bob's life not only touched the countless in need that he dedicated his life to serving but those of us who were so blessed to have known and worked with him. I will always remember his ever present smile and prudent guidance as we worked towards our constant common goal of helping others.
My condolences to Mary and his entire family. You remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Through his life's passion of helping others, Bob will forever stand as THE example of how to help others in need. As one of greatest individuals I have ever met, he taught me, as well as so many others, that we must help others every day and not to waste our time with fanfare or the minutia of life that often gets in the way of accomplishing great things. His business was helping others with a kind smile, a warm hand and seemingly boundless generosity.
The people of Lake County were blessed to count him as one of our own and his love and dedication to those in need will forever be missed.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and it is my hope that Mary and the rest of Bob's loved ones can take some comfort in knowing that his life served for the betterment of thousands, if not tens of thousands of people -- most of whom he never met. Bob just wanted to leave this earth a little better than he found it.
As always, Bob exceed his goal many, many times over.
Bob, I will always love you and try and teach my children the many lessons you taught me.
