Bob Chick, 1940-2022

I was fortunate to have Bob on my staff at various points of my career. He was Pinellas County sports, period. Anyone who knew Bob would tell you the same.

Damn. and yes I can picture it, after Bob sent in a story and the desk saying "Chick's story is in." and the GREAT Tom Ford responding "Chhhhhhhiiiiiiick" in the Tampa Tribune newsroom.

I had both Chick and Ford on my staff at Sports Extra. Was glad you mentioned Tom Ford, because I am having flashbacks right now.

I don't have such a feature on my pages. I looked for one.

I knew Bob when he was the sports editor and columnist for the St. Pete Independent
Good man. RIP
