Edwin F. Guziel
Edwin F. Guziel, 80 of Arlington Heights, Ill. passed away peacefully on May 21, 2026, surrounded by his family. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Frances (nee Girardi); daughter Pamela (Brian) Panczyk; son Paul (Ellen) Guziel; and sister Bernadette (Tom) Rynberg. He was known as “Big G” to his grandchildren Rhys Guziel, Nataly Panczyk, Kelsey Guziel, and Emily Panczyk. He is preceded in death by his parents Edwin and Jeanette (nee Kowalski), sister Marian Sherwin and brother Gerard Guziel.
A graduate of Loyola University, Ed began his career in accounting at Thomas Havey and Co., where he became a partner and ultimately the head of the tax department. He started his own accounting firm in Barrington, Ill. and eventually practiced in Arlington Heights, Ill. He was the treasurer of the Arlington Heights Rotary for many years and a Paul Harris Fellow. A brilliant tax expert, Ed not only built a successful practice, but considered his clients his friends, nurturing those relationships until his passing.
His happy place was sitting on his pier in Lake Shangri-La catching bass and walleye. Between casts, he greeted passing boats, sporting his Cubs hat and sipping his scotch. Those times brought him peace and joy. He never took golf seriously, but was a good sport and played weekly with his wife and friends. Every summer he tried to catch a Cubs game at a different major league stadium, and over the years cruised to many foreign ports. An evening didn’t go by without a few games of Scrabble on his iPad or with his wife.
Funeral mass at 11:00 a.m. Thursday, June 4, 2026, with a visitation from 10:00 a.m. until the time of service at Our Lady of the Wayside, 434 Park St., Arlington Heights. Private interment.

Robert “Bobby” Patterson
It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Robert “Bobby” Patterson, who left this world on May 10, 2026 at the age of 46.
Bobby was a loving father, a cherished son, a loyal brother and a loving husband whose presence brought strength, laughter, and kindness to those fortunate enough to know him. He lived his life with quiet determination, generosity, and an unwavering love for his children.
Born on February 12, 1980 in Elk Grove Village, IL, Bobby was the beloved son of Tina Patterson (nee Bennett) and Michael Patterson. He was a man who showed up for the people he loved — whether through words of encouragement, a helping hand, or simply being there when it mattered most.
As a father to Preston, along with Payton, Parker, Paxton and Penton, who he shared with his wife, Jackie Patterson, he was a steady guide, protector, and greatest supporter. His love for his children was evident in everything he did, and the lessons he taught through his actions will remain with them forever. Nothing was greater to him than the privilege of being a father.
Bobby was also a beloved twin brother to Brian, brother to Danielle, Jessica, Nicholas and Melissa Lane-Baker. He was his parents’ son who valued family above all else. He leaves behind countless memories of laughter, holidays, conversations, and moments that will forever be held close by those who knew him best.
He is survived by his children, Preston, Payton, Parker, Paxton, Penton; his parents, Tina Patterson (nee Bennett) and Michael Patterson with his partner, Barbara Danielson; his siblings, Brian, Danielle, Jessica, Nicholas and Melissa; his wife, Jackie Patterson, (nee Oskwarek); His Aunt Patricia Hopkins (nee Bennett); his grandfather, John Rusten and many extended family members and dear friends who will miss him deeply.
He was preceded in death by his beloved grandmother Beatrice Rusten (nee Wicker), who will be his guiding light beyond.
A visitation/service to honor and celebrate Bobby’s life will be held on June 20, 2026 from 2:00 pm until 5:00pm with a service at 4:00pm at Meadows Funeral Home, 3615 Kirchoff Road, Rolling Meadows, IL 60008.
Though his time here was far too short, the love Robert gave and the lives he touched will continue long after his passing. He will be remembered always, missed endlessly, and loved forever.
