BOB NEUHAUS

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of Bob Neuhaus.  Bob, a White Sox fan originally from Indiana, passed away yesterday.  At this time, I do not have any family plans.  
The first time I met Bob was on the shuffleboard courts one day when I was practicing alone, and he showed up to do the same.  We struck up a conversation, played a couple of games, and a few weeks later we started a great partnership as doubles partners.  We won a few, lost many more, but for many years, we always had a good time.  The last time we played, it was against each other in a tournament earlier this season.  Despite him having a portable oxygen machine slung over his shoulder, I still managed to beat him.  
Please keep Donna and their children in your thoughts and prayers.

Steve Smith
