Date of Death

December 26, 2025

Born and raised in Barrington, Illinois in a golden age of America. He excelled in academics, sports and charm.

Four years at Dartmouth College and law school at Stanford University.

Being a real estate lawyer in Santa Barbara led him to being a real estate investor where he became a landlord extraordinaire. His tenants became family. He kept the rents reasonable and was quick with the repairs. He learned plumbing, electrical, tiling, woodworking, landscaping.

He loved to travel. He loved his dogs. He loved tennis. He loved his friends. He loved Santa Barbara. He was a prince amongst men. So generous and kind.

Shout out to parents Helen and Wifred, brother Tom, Lin Reetz, WW Bradbury who are all waiting for him at the pearly gates. Ran, you are missed.

Your biggest fan, Chris.
