JOHN CHUCKMAN MEMORIAL: FOR MY DEAREST FRIEND AND FATHER-IN-LAW ROBERT SORENSEN - AS PRINTED IN CHICAGO TRIBUNE NEWSPAPER
Robert Peter Sorensen, born Chicago Sept. 11, 1909, to Oscar Sorensen and Catherine Keeley; died March 14, 1990; buried March 16, 1990, Park Lawn Cemetery, Toronto, Canada.
Known to friends as Rip. He was part of a generation that dearly loved the city and the kind of man no one ever regretted calling a friend.
Now, he's back with Barney and the boys from the Ravenswood Line.
"It's nice, but it's not Chicago."
