It was my pleasure growing up with Bob.
Though he was a year older at St. Theodore he was already a Legend.
I played Semi-Pro Football with Bob on the Chicago Outlaws. It an absolute privilege to strap a chin strap with that guy. He wouldn´t let you in the game if you weren´t worthy.
RIP Butkus. You were the best!
