Rollin J. Soskin, age 72, of Buffalo Grove, beloved father of Ryan (Catherine Case) Soskin and Sarah Soskin; adored grandfather of Palmer, Campbell, Jack, and Graham; devoted son of the late Sam and the late Jacqueline Soskin; cherished brother of Stephen Soskin; loving partner of Ellen Lipshutz; treasured uncle, cousin, and friend to many. Rollin was a happy-go-lucky attorney who practiced law for over 45 years, building deep relationships with clients who trusted him for decades. "Jolly Rollie" was generous, wore his heart on his sleeve, and always marched to the beat of his own drum. Beyond his work, he had a deep love for music and never missed an opportunity to sing karaoke. In his younger years, he was a soccer star and the proud high school mascot at Niles West, always bringing his trademark enthusiasm wherever he went. We will miss his warmth, kindness, and unwavering love, but we find comfort in knowing he touched so many lives.
Memorial Service Sunday, 10:00 a.m. Ct at The Chapel, 195 N. Buffalo Grove Rd., Buffalo Grove (1 Block N. of Lake Cook Rd.). Rollin's service will be livestreamed on his webpage at www.goldmanfuneralgroup.com. In lieu of flowers, contributions would be appreciated to The Ensworth School, 211 Ensworth Ave., Nashville, TN 37205, www.ensworth.com/give/make-a-gift Orphans of the Storm Animal Shelter, www.orphansofthestorm.org.

Rollin was just a great guy. Always pleasant and upbeat. Never heard him say anything bad about anyone--a real mensch. I knew him from our days together at Niles West High School and the University of Illinois, where we lived in the same dorm for awhile. As a fellow attorney I always enjoyed running into him at Court. He will be missed.

We'll miss Rollin deeply...He was a kind and loving guy that had a big heart and always was there to help those he cared about. He loved his kids and grandkids and was so proud of them all.
Our deepest condolences,
Michael and Susan Zelik
