Mr. Shillinger was a regular fixture at the mall. As long as he was still mobile he would come visit. Always a smile regardless of the pain. We would often share stories and joke about who had what Dr., which ones were good and which ones were "krack-pots" that still makes me smile. If it was slow in the store we would talk forever. He shared many stories of his past, his work, his boys and their children and how proud he was of them all. He always kept me up to date on how his wife was. I remember how devastating her loss was for him. He missed her so dearly. Rest easy dear friend. I will miss seeing you. - Posted by: Elaine (Grant Park Mall Safeway) () on: Apr 03, 2014
