Featured Obituary:
Robert "Bob" Witt lived 94 beautiful years. He is survived by his beloved wife of 69 years –Diane Witt nee Glassman. He was a loving father of sons Gregg (Bruni) Witt, Steven (Liza) Witt and daughter Teri (Thomas) Sapiro. A cherished grandfather to Zachary (Emily) Witt, Joshua (Lauren) Witt, Samuel Witt (Emily Ruffolo), Max (Heather) Sapiro, Sadie Witt, Dana Sapiro, and Olivia Witt. Treasured great grandfather to Noah Witt and Madison Witt. Bob was the ultimate Chicago adman whose long career at Garfield Linn & Co was highlighted by such iconic moments as launching the first Dove Ice Cream Bar, introducing the world to Tootsie Pop Drops, and even naming the original Lava Lamp. For several years he served as President of the Chicago chapter of the American Association of Advertising Agencies and chairman of communications at JUF. In later years, Bob could be found on the golf course shooting his age at Briarwood Country Club in Deerfield or Mission Hills in Rancho Mirage. In his retirement his creative spirit led him to painting as a hobby. All of his grandkids have an original "Baba" painting hanging in their homes. Like most Chicago natives, he had his heart broken by the Bears, Bulls, and Cubs. Nevertheless he always rooted for the home team.Read more via Weinstein & Piser Funeral Home »
