Ernest Larkin, O.Carm. and Rev. Jack Larkin, O.Carm., and his sister Mary Margaret Larkin. Bob's life was an example of a life well lived. His deep love for God, family, and all of humankind was a shining light of inspiration to those who knew him. He was fiercely devoted to his family and his daughters are forever grateful for his unconditional love. An early health enthusiast, Bob was an avid runner, swimmer, and cyclist committed to achieving his "personal best" until the end of his days. He is lovingly remembered as a church choir member, family camper, proud Irishman, and people person. He was happiest when his whole family was together.

Bob was a third order Carmelite who began Catholic seminary studies as a high school student in Niagara, Canada. He was called home to support his family in Chicago when his father fell ill. Working days and studying nights, he eventually graduated from Marquette University. Bob was a Controller for Globe Union/Johnson Controls for over 30 years.
