R. Dennis Rasor 1948 - 2022

R. Dennis Rasor (Robert Dennis Rasor), attorney, 73, passed away unexpectedly but peacefully on June 29, 2022, at home in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood.

Born in Bloomington, Indiana, Dennis (as he was known) graduated Salutatorian from Warsaw Community High School and obtained a degree in economics from DePauw University, where he was a Rector Scholar, inducted into Phi Beta Kappa, and a proud member of Sigma Chi (nickname "Blade").

After earning his J.D. from Northwestern University School of Law, Dennis embarked upon a long career as a medical malpractice defense attorney. He started at Lord, Bissell & Brook before launching his own firm, Anderson, Rasor & Partners, from which he retired one year ago. Dennis was a renowned trial attorney, known for his honor, high ethics, and brilliant legal mind. Over the course of his forty-eight year career, Dennis tried more than 100 cases to verdict, earning his place as one of the leading courtroom advocates in Chicago – and the thanks and respect of his many clients.

The only things that Dennis loved more than the law were his family and friends. Beloved husband of Sandra Gretchen Iorio; devoted father of Katherine (partner Brendan Carney), Gregory, and Rebecca Rasor; very proud grandfather of Leonidas Rasor-Carney. Dear step-father of Fiona and Aidan Power; brother of Robin and Andrew Rasor. Former spouse of Danae Prousis. Son of the late Robert Lister Rasor and Betty Lou Rasor (nee Callendar).

A memorial service and reception for Dennis will be held Friday, July 15, 2022, at Galleria Marchetti, 825 W. Erie Street, Chicago. Visitation will begin at 3:00 p.m., with a service at 4:00 p.m., followed by a reception. Valet parking will be available. All wishing to remember Dennis and celebrate his life are welcome.
