I read in the paper about Bob passing. I knew Bob when we were 12 and 13 years old. My parents owned the Bob Inn Tavern and Grill in Logan Square. It saddens me Bob is gone at such a young age. I remember him well as child. We use to walk home from St. Johns and play at Geothe playground together. I remember him so well because he the first boy that kissed me. My sympathy to his family and may God bless you during this hard time.
