“The Robert Sylvester Family, So sorry for your loss. “Coach” was a true Jesuit…… a man for others. He was my U. S. government teacher and basketball coach at Prep -66, 67 and 68. I am glad that I got to see him at his induction into the Prep Athletic Hall of Fame in 2018. Bob was first and foremost an educator. He loved what he was doing. I cherish all the Prep memories. Sincerely Bob Cholko”
