Bill > SR0078

This resolution mourns the passing of Paul Keller Boll, a longtime resident of Illinois who died on January 15, 2025. Born in Detroit, Michigan in 1940, Boll was a dedicated professional who first worked as a male lay teacher at Little Flower School before establishing Paul Boll Painting and Decorating in 1978, a business he ran with his wife Diane until his retirement in 2014. The resolution highlights his significant contributions, including painting notable local landmarks such as the Governor's Mansion and Memorial Medical Center, and recognizes his deep community involvement, including his 60-year membership at the Church of the Little Flower. The document also celebrates Boll's personal life, noting his love for the Detroit Tigers, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and his commitment to family, having been survived by four children, nine grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, and his brother. The Illinois Senate formally expresses its condolences to Boll's family and loved ones, and resolves to present a copy of the resolution to his family as a gesture of sympathy.
