The Exhibit Designers and Producers Association recently announced that past president Bob Firks has passed away. Firks was president of the EDPA in 1977 and 1978. He was also a past winner of the prestigious Hazel Hays Award and the president of Giltspur – Chicago.
“Bob was a believer in industry unity among peers and associates within the industry,” commented Larry Kulchwik, who was the head of sales and marketing for Exhibitgroup when its parent company bought Giltspur. “As president of Giltspur – Chicago, he lead a first class company to greatness.”
Firks will be greatly missed.
