ANTHONY NOLFI
Mr. Nolfi served on the Bricklaying Apprenticeship & Training Committee, which he had headed for the past four years. He also had served on MCAA's Contract Research and Insurance Committees, and was a member of the Market Development Program Board of the International Masonry Institute.
Mr. Nolfi saw himself as a link between the masonry industry and architects, and he was influential in persuading designers for 10 Penn Center and other major buildings to alter plans that originally called for glass-and-steel towers.
He was further instrumental in persuading the state legislature to buy materials related to the life and work of famed architect Louis Kahn. Those materials now are permanently stored at the University of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Nolfi is survived by his wife, Margaret: three daughters, Jean N. Romano, Linda N. McAnespey and Nina M. Nolfi: a son, Glenn A. Nolfi: a sister, and five grandchildren.
Robert Shepherd Sr.,
Ex-BAC Official, Dies
Robert Shepherd Sr., retired vice president of the International Union of Bricklayers & Allied Craftsmen, died December 26, 1984. A longtime resident of Chicago's Northwest Side, he was 84.
Mr. Shepherd was the first international officer in his union who was a ceramic tile layer rather than a bricklayer. He was noted for his ability to arbitrate jurisdictional disputes between tile layers, terrazzo layers and bricklayers.
Mr. Shepherd was born in Downstate Breeze, III., and came to Chicago in the 1920s. He became a member of Tile Layers Local 67 in 1926 and continued to be a member for more than 50 years. He was made business manager in 1930, a position he held for 22 years. He was the architect of a unique pension plan for the local that is still in effect.
In 1953, he became the first non-bricklayer to be elected international vice president of the union.
He served as secretary of the Building Code Committee of the Chicago Building Trades Council and as a member of the Tile Council of America. In 1967, the Tile Contractors Association of America gave him the Carl V. Cesary Memorial Award.
Mr. Shepherd is survived by two sons, Robert Jr. and George: two daughters, Kathleen Greene and Florence Jones; 24 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren, and a sister, Kitty Griesser.
