I just learned of the passing of Bob Chanin.   I want to thank Bob for the dedicated legal work that he provided for teachers and other school employees over a half century at the NEA and at its affiliates.   I personally appreciate his advocacy on behalf of North Carolinians who worked for equity and inclusion.

My condolences to the family.
Bob and I were classmates many
times in art class. When he overheard
my saying that my son has passed away
he comforted me with the thought,  I
can't imagine what that is like.

Bob and I send our condolences to your entire family. I have fond memories of our vacations in West Virginia and of dog sitting your house many decades ago. You were close friends with my parents and I know they are very saddened by the loss of Bob. May his memory be a blessing to all of you.
