A Missed Friend-- Bob Rolek


The Round Lake Area Park District renamed its community center after its first executive director Bob Rolek today. The ceremony was attended by hundreds of local, state and county dignitaries and most importantly by Bob's family. Bob was a wonderful friend to me over my first term in office and his sudden death a few short months ago has saddened me and has also been a great loss to the village. I spoke very briefly today and could barely finish what I was saying at that. I was not the only one, tears and laughter were plentiful as we all told "Bob" stories. Goodbye my friend!
