| SENATE RESOLUTION
|
| 2 |
| WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the State of Illinois |
| 3 |
| learned with great sadness of the death of Trevor Lehmann of |
| 4 |
| Wheeling on Thursday, January 13, 2005; and
|
| 5 |
| WHEREAS, Mr. Lehmann served two terms as a Wheeling |
| 6 |
| trustee, and was known to be a pro-business politician who |
| 7 |
| brought new business and development to the village; he |
| 8 |
| co-owned a Century 21 real estate office in Wheeling and was |
| 9 |
| elected to the Village Board in 1997; and
|
| 10 |
| WHEREAS, Mr. Lehmann is perhaps best known for establishing |
| 11 |
| Friendship Park on the village's east side; when village plans |
| 12 |
| for the park became bogged down in political infighting, Mr. |
| 13 |
| Lehmann paid an architect to design the park; on May 18, the |
| 14 |
| village renamed a fountain in the park after him; and
|
| 15 |
| WHEREAS, After he learned last January that he had |
| 16 |
| amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a fatal neurological disorder |
| 17 |
| known as Lou Gehrig's disease, Mr. Lehmann brought that same |
| 18 |
| energy and persistence that he exhibited as a trustee to |
| 19 |
| battling ALS; he faced his disease with unflappable calm and |
| 20 |
| humor, and in July, the Skokie-based Les Turner ALS Foundation |
| 21 |
| awarded Mr. Lehmann and his wife, Jen Lehmann, its |
| 22 |
| Humanitarians of the Year Award; and
|
| 23 |
| WHEREAS, The passing of Trevor Lehmann has been deeply felt |
| 24 |
| by many, especially his wife, Jen; his mother, Marcia; and his |
| 25 |
| sister, Emilie Reynolds; therefore, be it
|
| 26 |
| RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE NINETY-FOURTH GENERAL |
| 27 |
| ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we mourn the passing of |
| 28 |
| Trevor Lehmann, a man who will be remembered as an effective |
| 29 |
| business and community leader who really cared about his |
| 30 |
| community, and we extend our deepest sympathy to his family, |
