[QUOTE="LouHenson, post: 1945186, member: 746834"] A true pioneer in Illini history passed today. My father Bob Sammons whose father opened teshurt on Wright street in 1956 passed away today. TeShurt was a campus main stay for over 60 years. The players, coaches, students who worked for us, and all the fans who patronized that store meant the world to him. He will be cremated in an orange chief illiniweck shirt tomorrow. We lived next door to Loren Tate and just down the street from Lou Henson for many years. He will be a tough person to replace as an Illinois fan. Rest in peace dad we loved you. [/QUOTE]
