Robert Karpiel Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born in Chicago, Bob's journey through life was marked by an unwavering devotion to his family. He was a proud father/grandfather and cherished the time he spent with his children/grandchildren. Music was also a large part of Bob's life. Whether playing trombone, listening to music, or performing for a crowd, he found expression through sound. The St. Rita High School band, University of Illinois Chicago band, and the Southwest Symphony were happy to have him as a member.
A Bachelor of Science in Chemistry followed by a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy provided him with the tools to build a career as a pharmacist. A career path he worked in until retirement. During his downtime, Bob loved playing Pokemon with his sons, watching all kinds of movies (especially The Halloween Tree), and setting up his train sets during the holidays.
Bob will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
