It was my pleasure to work with Bob when he was a Commissioner at the Northbrook Park District. He took his position seriously and made many valuable contributions.

I knew Bob in the library's current events discussion group. He always had worthwhile contributions to offer and knew the intricacies of financial matters. He was a wonderful man who will be sorely missed.
