Robert A. Ridgeway

Bob Ridgeway, age 28, of Carol Stream, Illinois passed away suddenly on October 31, 2016. Bob is survived by his loving parents, Tom and Dee, brothers John (Heidi) and Tom (Liz) and nephews Wyatt and Charlie. Bob’s charm, wit, and thoughtfulness will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

In accordance with his wishes, Bob is being cremated and we will be holding a memorial service on Saturday November 12 . There will be a brief service at 11:00 am , followed by procession to the cemetery and short ceremony at the cemetery chapel.

If you’re able to join us that day, please arrive at 9:00 am or soon after to remember Bob, share stories and take advantage of the time to reconnect with old friends. Bob would’ve liked that.

Bob always said that if this day ever came, he wanted us to throw a party in his honor, laugh, smile, and remember the good times. We’re not quite ready for that yet, but it will happen. In the meantime, pull your friends close and raise a toast in Bob’s honor. But before that, call your parents, siblings, and anyone else that matters and tell them you love them. Hug and kiss your kids, and pet your dog. Bob would’ve liked that, too.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in Bob’s memory to either the Chicago White Sox Charities or the Chicago Blackhawks Charities .
