Aretha Franklin in “The Blues Brother”
They continue
to strengthen
Chicago’s incomparable
work ethic
with memories
of good-old-
fashioned decency
There were a lot of goodbyes in 2018. From the Queen of Soul to a real-life comic superhero with all kinds of friends and coworkers in between, they inspire memories that make life worthwhile.
The people who have departed from Chicago’s advertising, film, and sound industries will forever remain part of the community. Through common connections, past jobs, and shared triumphs, they continue to strengthen Chicago’s incomparable work ethic with memories of good old-fashioned decency.
