This resolution mourns the passing of James Joseph "Jim" Flanagan, a Chicago native who was a longtime carpenter, union member, and community volunteer. The resolution highlights Flanagan's life story, noting that he was born in 1946, graduated from local schools, married Sandy Dunne in 1969, and raised five children. He was a proud member of Carpenters Union Local 13, actively participated in his community as a precinct captain for the 19th Ward, coached Little League baseball, and was a founding member of the Bulls Baseball Club. The resolution emphasizes his devotion to family, mentioning his 50th wedding anniversary celebration, his role as a grandfather to 14 grandchildren, and his reputation for bringing joy and humor to those around him. The Illinois Senate formally expresses its condolences to his family, including his wife Sandy, children Jeanne, Joey, Peggy, Bridget, and Jim, and his siblings Maureen, Pegi, and Nancy, and resolves to present a copy of the resolution to his family as a symbol of sympathy.
