Tobin Stanley

Tobin Stanley died unexpectedly, but peacefully, walking near his home in Orland Park, IL this past Friday evening, just 3 days shy of his 68th birthday. Tobin is survived by his loving wife Michelle and his four children, Mackenzie (Marty) Brennan, Morgan, Benjamin (Kara), Zachary and his brother Jason (Karen). Tobin was born on July 4, 1948 in the Chicago neighborhood of Lincoln Park to Dorothy and Alex Stanley. He graduated from the University of Illinois with the class of 1970 with a degree in General Engineering. Tobin flourished in the field of mechanical engineering and was one of the most respected minds in his field, with many notable projects to his credit including: The United Center of Chicago, The Kohl Center of Madison, WI and numerous high rises all across the Chicago skyline. Tobin was an avid car and motorcycle aficionado, with a passion for antique Italian motorcycles, French automobiles and discovering hidden gems perhaps overlooked by the untrained eye. He loved hiking, traveling the world, a fine meal, but above all, spending quality time with his close friends and loving family.
