It is with great sadness that we have learned the passing of our great friend, Robert Mironowicz. Bob grew up with Sun Youth and was with the organization for 54 years, as a basketball player with the Clark Street Sun, and then as a volunteer, first a football coach, then as a board member since the early 1990s and finally as President of the Board in 2014 until his sudden passing on January 7th.
Bob was a passionate, generous, sensitive and funny human being who cared about the success of young people and changed the lives of countless others during his lifetime. He took over the reins of our organization, following the illness of his former coach and long-time friend, Earl De La Perralle.
Bob was a go-getter who did not accept defeat and during his mandates as President of Sun Youth’s Board of Directors, he put his talents to work to ensure the future of the organization. We will be eternally grateful to him.
On behalf of Sun Youth employees and volunteers, as well as all those who have been directly or indirectly positively impacted by his volunteer involvement over the past 4 decades, we wish our deepest condolences to his wife Jennifer, his sons Tim and Scott, as well as his friends and family.
