Bob Steele Way



Bob Steele by Michael Keropian 2015.

Some years ago I wondered if there had ever been a sculptural tribute to Bob Steele.

I decided to reach out to Bob's sons and they loved the idea of a tribute to him.

At the time they were changing the name of Grove Street to Bob Steele Street.

Bob's sons decided on a bronze plaque that depicted their father when he first entered radio in the 1930's.

So they gave me the younger image of him and I created his likeness with hat and microphone in relief.

I incorporated the same 1930's theme and designed the rest of the plaque as an old 1930's radio.

I loved the art deco designs of radios.
