Robert Chalberg Obituary

I never knew Bob to ever be unhappy, or too busy to advise me at a moment´s notice.

Bob was always generous with valuable yet free advice no matter how much I insisted he bill me for it.

Bob once told me I should be happy I owed taxes because it meant I made money. He was right of course. Bob knew how to tactfully pass along sage wisdom by delivering it with his genuinely sincere and warm smile.

I will always miss Bob´s guidance moving forward, but moreover I will forever miss seeing his smile.

Hello beautiful...
This is how Bob always answered the phone to me (I have no idea how he answered it for my husband) but it always made me smile! 30+ years of conversations by phone or in office. Seeing the office staff and his wife Judy felt like family. We'll miss you Bob. Condolences to all.

Bob understood from the beginning. As my parents declined, he partnered with me-handling the taxes while I managed the accounting side of their finances and, eventually, their estate. He was always available, generous with his time, genuine in his support, and effortlessly affable.

Through our work together, we formed a true friendship-one I will deeply miss.

I met Bob over 25 years ago when he became my business, and personal tax accountant. We were both young men than. I loved walking into the office and talking accounting or the Cubs and or the Bulls. Bob you will be missed and Judy my heart breaks for you and your family! God Bless and know I will be praying for all of you!

Bob was a long-time dear friend of mine along with Judy. I knew him from high school days in Geneva. He and I along with Judy's brother Jim and a few others played many rounds of golf together. I enjoyed the games of trivial pursuit, which Bob was a master of. He was always pleasant, positive and had funny side every time we spoke. We had several calls each year to talk about the Cubs, Bears and of course taxes. It always ended with the typical Chicago sports fan saying, wait till next year! I will definitely miss those calls going forward. He is with the golf gods now and hope he does not play a course near a farm field. A funny thing happened next to a farm that he never let me forget! Bob was a good man, good husband and father and will be sincerely missed.

RIP my good friend.
