As president of the Chicago Walkers Club and an old and fond friend of Rob's I want to express my condolences to his family. Many of our group met you, his children, at his Apple parties and remember those & other social occasions, and our weekly walks & brunches, with great joy. He was a sweet and humerous man with a heart of gold...and his clock collection was amazing! We have missed him since he's been gone from our Saturday walks but have kept up with his progress through mutual friends. I'm sorry that I was out of town the day of his funeral, but he is remembered in my prayers and those of many of his old "walking" friends.
Our deepest sympathies to you all.
