Section 3 Chicago Tribune, Sunday, August 17, 1980 Tribune Photos by Walter Kale Peter Drist and daughter Olga arrive Saturday for the funeral of his wife, Sophia, who died of cancer Tuesday, and his son who was gunned down 'the next day. Slaying victim, mother buried By George de Lama TWENTY-FIVE-YEAR-OLD Robert Drist was buried next to his mother Saturday, three weeks before he was to be married and three days after a West Side gunmen killed him, seemingly at random. More than 250 mourners packed the SS. Volodymyr 'and Ohla Ukrainian Catholic Church, 739 N. Oakley Saturday morning to attend the divine liturgy rites for Mrs.

Sophia Drist, 69, and her son. The younger Drist to have been among the mourners. His mother was, died of cancer Tuesday in Illinois Masonic Hospital. But the next night, after a date with his fiance, Drist was standing with friends near the corner of Fairfield Avenue and Iowa Street when he was shot down by youths firing from a passing car. Those who had known him since his boyhood days in the neighborhood described him as friendly, good-looking, athletic.

The Gordon Tech High School graduate, a laborer for the Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago, was described by his employers as "a faithful employe who never missed a day's work." Police, searching for a motive for the slaying, said Drist was an innocent victim. Two street gang members, Wilfredo Romero, 27, of 844 N. California and Miguel Rivera, 18, of 450 N.

Andrij Chirowski, speaking in English for the benefit of the Drists' Latino and other friends. "Today the world is in need of a lot of healing," he said.

"Sophia and Bob's family need healing. Their friends need healing. The people who caused Bob's death need healing, perhaps most of all." Mrs. Drist and her son would later be buried side-byside in St. Nicholas Cemetery, Park Ridge -Robert in a plot his father bought for himself immediately after his wife died, "IT'S JUST not fair," said one shocked friend, Ed Kajor, 21.

"He wasn't running around in the gangs or anything, and he went like this." "It just doesn't want to register," said another longtime neighborhood pal.
