Mourning the loss of Bob Sopko

Bob Sopko

This week, our team at the CWRU Veale Institute for Entrepreneurship and Sears think[box] is mourning the loss of our dear friend and coworker Bob Sopko. 

The ripple effect of this loss has been felt throughout the entrepreneurship community in Northeast Ohio and beyond. Bob selflessly helped so many people as a mentor. We will do our best to preserve his legacy and use his example as inspiration in all that we do.

Please take a moment to read more about Bob's impact on a few of our team members, and a few of our alumni, at the link below. And when you get to the bottom of the article, you'll see a link to his obituary where you can leave comments for his loved ones to read. There are so many wonderful stories to sift through there that show just how big of a difference he made to so many lives. May he rest in peace.
