With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Robert E. Spiel Jr. (Lake Forest, Illinois), who passed away on October 25, 2024 at the age of 81. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid Robert farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments.
