Bill > SR0041

This memorial resolution mourns the death of Paul H. Saletnik, a longtime Des Plaines resident who passed away on January 8, 2025, and honors his life and contributions to his community. Born in Chicago in 1950, Saletnik was an architect who worked for 22 years with the Chicago & North Western Railroad and later spent 22 years as a kitchen designer for Home Depot. He was deeply involved in local civic life, serving on Des Plaines' zoning board of appeals for 16 years and on the board of the Des Plaines Theater Preservation Society, playing a key role in saving and renovating a local theater. The resolution highlights Saletnik's strong work ethic, commitment to helping others, and ability to be fully present in moments, while also acknowledging his personal life, including his previous marriage to Barbara Ann Saletnik and his current marriage to Krystyna Saletnik-Stachurska, with whom he had three children and two grandchildren. The Illinois Senate officially expresses its condolences to his family and friends, and resolves to present a copy of the resolution to his family as a symbol of sympathy and remembrance.
