It’s not often that a funeral service starts with the playing of “Sirius” by the Alan Parsons Project, otherwise known in Chicago as “the Bulls song.”
But the unconventional setting for Howard Kirschner’s service last week at the Chicago Jewish Funerals chapel in Skokie fit perfectly for him. Mr. Kirschner, one of the earliest to portray the legendary Chicago Bulls mascot Benny the Bull, was described by his wife as a “quirky” guy who “marched to his own drummer.”
“He was very funny,” his wife, Paulette Kirschner, told the Sun-Times.
