Bill > SR0054

This resolution mourns the passing of Ray A. Young, a Cambridge, Illinois resident who died on November 22, 2024, and honors his life and contributions. Born in Arkansas in 1928, Young served as an infantry rifleman in the U.S. Army during the Korean War from 1950 to 1953, was married to Isabelle Kapple until her death in 2021, and had a diverse work history including roles as a farmhand, tractor-trailer driver, mechanic, and environmental services supervisor at the Henry County Courthouse, where he worked for 23 years before retiring in 2001. The resolution highlights Young's community involvement, including his membership in the Cambridge United Methodist Church and the American Legion Post No. 417, and notes his personal interests in traveling and woodworking. The Illinois Senate extends its sincere condolences to his surviving family members, including his daughter Lori Dole and sisters Louise Fix and Ada Shain, and resolves to present a copy of the resolution to his family as an expression of sympathy.
