Robert Berris, beloved son of Ben and Joan Berris, beloved brother of Linda and Kenneth, passed away on November 17, 2020 at 75 years of age, from Covid-19.

Robert-known to everyone as Bob-was born in Chicago, Illinois, on May 21, 1945. For most of his life he lived in Chicago, then relocated to the northern suburbs in his final years. Bob was a proud and happy member of Thresholds, an organization that provides programming for individuals with special needs. He lived at Thresholds for many years and participated in their programs, where he had many friends and built a lifetime of good memories.

Bob loved collecting buttons, badges, and souvenirs, and sharing meals with friends and family. He was greatly loved, and will be greatly missed by all who knew and cared for him.
