My sincere thoughts and prayers are with the Downing and Reiter Families on the passing of Robert. He was a fun man to be around in Diversey Harbor and was blessed to have such a wonderful family.

I had the privilege of working for RAD as his paralegal @ Sidley for almost 10 years. RAD worked you hard, but you learned so much...about the law and about life. My thoughts and prayers are with RAD's family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. I had the pleasure of being Bob's secretary for a few years at SA.

Bob was perhaps the best trial lawyer it was ever my pleasure to work with. He did not suffer lightly fools or foolish behavior, but taught many of us our profession and taught many of us important lessons in how to live. I shall forever be grateful.
