|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board SportsChrome Founder Bob Tringali Sr. Dies Brad Mangin, Photographer Pleasanton | CA | USA | Posted: 11:43 PM on 09.04.05 ->> Bob Tringali Sr. died this afternoon at 5pm EDT in New York City. I was with his best friend Mickey Palmer in the visiting dugout at McAfee Coliseum in Oakland before tonight's Yankees @ A's game when Mickey received the phone call telling him the bad news. Mickey asked that I mention something about Bob's passing on this site in order to let people know. Many of you might not have ever met Bob Tringali Sr., but I am sure many of you have shot alongside his son Rob Tringali Jr. at a ballgame. Mickey had just flown back to the Bay Area this afternoon after visiting with Bob in New York for the past four days. In fact, Mickey came to the ballpark early this afternoon straight from the airport. Bob and Mickey grew up together in New York City. Bob was Mickey's best friend and partner when Mickey founded Focus on Sports (a large stock agency representing many of the best photographers in the United States including most of the Sports Illustrated staffers during that period of time) in 1975. Focus was the first photo agency in the world to devote itself entirely to sports. In 1983 Bob left Focus to pursue other photographic interests and created SportsChrome Inc. in 1986 along with his son Rob Tringali Jr. Over the years many top photographers have contributed to SportsChrome (http://www.sportschrome.com), among them SportsShooter.com member Michael Zito. My condolences go out to Rob Jr., the Tringali family, Mickey and the rest of Bob's friends.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I was lucky enough to know Bob for many years (working with Rob and his dad) as one of the Sportschrome contributors. Bob was always a grand motivator, anytime you needed inspired you would pick up the phone and call Bob and after a fun conversation, you would run right out the door and create stock for him. Bob molded many of us and he was always there if you needed his advice or assistance. We will all miss his prescence. Craig Melvin  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
