He was a connoisseur of Chicago food, smooth jazz and his beloved dogs. He is survived by his daughters, Carrie(Neil) Bertz, Lauren(Michael) Thomas, and Beth(Paul) Bonk. His grandchildren Liam and Colin Bertz, Zoe Thomas and Penelope and Ally Bonk. His siblings, Jeffrey(Donna) Gedonius and Pamela Gedonius. An uncle to many nieces and nephews. A friend to all.
