A TRIBUTE TO By Robert M. Jadach Lisa was a very charming woman, who was the wife of my friend Paul Baio.
We saw the concert and had a great time, like we normally do. Lisa who worked at “Swank” with Paul and Rob Stackley came along with a few co-workers and fellow cast members. She seemed rather shy that evening. I spoke to her asking her about the concert. She liked it a lot, I recall and when I told her that I was glad that Sting performed one of my favorite songs “An Englishman In New York”, she looked at me and told me that I was a “dork”. That was a great icebreaker to get to know a person. From that day, Paul and Lisa started dating and I had fun with both of them. Besides hanging out at Crash Palace, The Exit, going to see movies and going on the London Trip from the College, I knew that one day they would get married.
The years started rolling by and like all friendships, we started to drift apart. All of us who were so close at the College drifted apart, until I heard about the sad news about Lisa being diagnosed with cancer. It crushed me. I know that it was hard news to take and I would say an extra prayer for Lisa. Thank goodness for Paul keeping everyone updated with his website. Please check it out at: www.helplisafightcancer.com .

I
remember the first time I met her. There was a group of us friends who
went to see Sting perform at a concert at one of the outdoor theater
venues. We were in rehearsal at the time for “42nd Street” at Morton
College.
A
few years past and they did get married. This is the first time I ever
saw Lisa wear clothing that wasn’t a dark color. She looked
picturesque. Lisa made a beautiful bride.
