The memorial service was held from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at The Healy Chapel, less than a mile on Downer Place toward central Aurora from Dennis and Susanne's home. Immediately afterward all were invited to a reception at Dennis and Susanne's. Barbara Lindberg took pictures at both events and posted 80 of them at
Thirty five of these are posted here on three web pages. Out of respect, at The Healy Chapel Barbara took pictures only during the informal first hour during which everyone was encouraged to circulate, renew acquaintances, and set the stage for sharing memories about Bob from the lectern. Bob's daughter Sharon, brother Bert, Granddaughters Maddie and Jessica, and niece Barbara each spoke from prepared notes. Bert and Barbara also read thoughts communicated to them by email from family members living in California. Picture captions below serve as introductions of Chicago relatives to Californians, who probably haven't seen them in years.
