Bob Bem Has Passed

Bob Bem, a PHGA member since 1997, passed away on October 18 in Myrtle Beach, SC.  For those PHGA members who knew Bob, remember him as a very active and visible member.  He served on the board for 12 years, was a scorekeeper for many years, a chairman of almost all committees, and encouraged members to become active on the board and participate in events.  As a pastime, Bob was Scoutmaster for 9 years with Troop 69, and responsible for several scouts earning the Eagle Scout rank.  In addition, he earned Honor Roll status with the Palatine Park District's volunteer of the year program.
