    My dad Tim Radomski was a long time friend. My weekend visits with my dad consisted of a short visit at Schutz’s. Where I nagged him for a kiddy cocktail and play the jutbox over and over. Later as I grew up.. he came to my first wedding. Many found memories.

    Bob and I had so much fun when he was governor of the moose lodge. My husband at that time was a bartender there and I had a band that played there for many,many moose occasions. The moose conventions were something to remember. Sooooo much to remember. The best memory with Bob is when we were at the moose lodge convention in Florida. I asked to borrow Bob’s brand new red Cadillac so me and a fewof my ladies of the moose could attend some functions that were going on. I didn’t bring the car back for three days. Til this day Bob would always tell that story.

  • So sorry for only now finding out Uncle Bob passed. Knew him for 50 years. I drove by the bar today and saw it was boarded up. My mom went to South with Bob and he was friends with Ralph whom my mom dated. Ralph also lived above the bar on 11th at one point . Bob was part of our family. Was at almost every family gathering we had. Always a generous soul and full of stories. Last time I saw him was at Rita’s funeral (Buckshots). Rita was also a childhood friend of my moms. Rita’s parents had a bar on 5th Pl and Becher. The close circles that once existed!! Just like reading responses from the Paisley’s. We went to Pulaski together. Anyway, slowly, we will all meet again in that big gig in the sky. R.I.P. Uncle Bob…
