It is with much sadness that I inform you that Retired Sergeant Tom "T.P." Pohl passed away on Easter Sunday. Tom had been battling cancer for some time. Tom served on the department from 8/24/56 through 1/19/1980.
I was proud to have had T.P. as a friend.

I hope that this is the last notification I will have to make for a while.

After a valiant 7 year fight with cancer, Barry Powers passed away in the early morning hours of January 19, 2007.
 He had been in the hospital for 17 days. The only time his wife Sharon left his side was to go home to shower and change clothes. She spent the night in his room sleeping in a chair.
Sharon contacted Father White (P. D. Chaplain) and the schedule is: Wake at Haben's (8057 Niles Center Rd.) on Thursday 1/25 3:00-9:00 p.m. with the funeral Friday morning 1/26 10:00 a.m. at the funeral home.
As I mentioned in yesterdays e-mail, due to all of the expenses and extended hospital stays a number of things were not covered by insurance. Sharon is going to need help with funeral expenses. Skokie F.O.P. Lodge 68 posted a notice in the police station requesting donations from current employees and I am making that request to those of you who knew and worked with Barry to do our part to help his family in a time of need. Send what you can afford. Make a check out to
Skokie F.O.P. Lodge #68
C/O Skokie Police Department
Laramie & Main
Skokie, IL 60077.
Also, if you have former members of the P. D. who are not on line, please give them a call and explain the situation.
Don't forget the celebration of Helen Albrecht's life tomorrow 1/20/07 at The Village Inn from 1:00 - 4:00 PM
On behalf of Sharon Powers I thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Celebration of the Life and Times of Helen
 Helen Dreelan Derham Albrecht passed away at the age of 90 last Saturday, January 6, 2007 after a very brief medical trauma.
There will be a memorial event taking place on Saturday, January 20, 2007 from 1pm until 4pm at the Village Inn, 8050 Lincoln Avenue in downtown Skokie , Illinois .
We invite the legions of Helen's friends to stop by to reminisce and have "a bite and a bit of the booze" with us. All are encouraged to bring any pictures and stories to share with us. Helen is the daughter of Catherine Murphy and Thomas Dreelan, both of whom "came over" to settle in Chicago in the very beginning of the 20th century. We plan to do justice to our Irish heritage with a good "Irish Wake".
Hope to see many of Helen's pals...please pass this on to all of her friends.
In lieu of flowers, anyone may make a voluntary contribution to the Helen Dreelan Memorial Book Trust fund at the event. The proceeds to the Trust fund from this event will be used to make a contribution to the St. Peters Roman Catholic School Library Fund in Skokie , Illinois .
Please contact Lynn Derham at lid926@aol.com or Bob Derham at 847-998-9207 if you have any questions.
