Remembering Bob Abt
"'Keep a low profile, and let what you do speak for itself.' These are the words Dad lived by, and his legacy is living proof."
-Mike Abt
Bob Abt (4/10/1938 - 7/23/2015)
"If only the world could be like the children's comedy juggling act two of my grandchildren and I saw at Navy Pier... That it really is possible for people of different cultures and races to get along with each other and have some future that is not so terrible."
Bob Abt - Voice of the People 2001
