Statement from Mayor Emanuel on the Passing of Robert Steele

Mayor's Press Office    312.744.3334

Robert Steele was a passionate and committed Chicagoan who dedicated his life to public service and strengthening communities. From his tenure as Community Outreach Manager of the Chicago Park District to his time as a Cook Country Commissioner, Robert was a proven advocate a for the city’s health services. While he hailed from North Lawndale, Robert was deeply devoted to Chicago’s West and South Sides. Amy and I join with all Chicagoans in mourning his loss and extend our deepest condolences to the Steele family on this difficult day.
