William Eaheart, Sr.JPG

William J. Eaheart passed away February 21, 2024. Calling someone ‘Good People’ was sincerely the highest compliment Bill could give. It is with deep sadness we share news of the peaceful passing of William J. Eaheart, Sr., the best of Good People. Born September 15, 1941, Bill is survived by his sons, Bill (Maggie) and Brian (Carla) and grandchildren, Quinn, Burke, Brennan, Delaney, and Owen. He was preceded in death by his wife, Rita Jean (nee McNerney) and daughter Rita Jean Gramm. Throughout his robust life, Bill demonstrated the many facets of heroism. As an 8th grade teacher at St. Gall’s grammar school, Bill volunteered countless hours to provide students outdoor experiences, helping the children build self-confidence. As a Chicago firefighter, Bill did not hesitate to put his life on the line, carrying countless people to safety. As a father and gramps, Bill modeled integrity, humility and good humor. In seemingly ordinary ways, Bill was extraordinary. Everyone could rely on Bill to share amusing stories of youthful antics in Canaryville, enlighten anyone who would listen on the best route to drive across town, or readily connect you to talented craftsmen. Whatever was needed, Bill’s ‘gotta guy’. Although, more often than not, Bill was your guy. Deeply grounded in the principle of fairness and profoundly respectful of the women in his life, Bill was quick to lend a hand to the underdog. He knew when to fill a space with a hearty laughter and when to simply be present in comfortable silence. He is greatly missed, but his lesson of a life well lived remains with us. While serving as central to so many of those around him, Bill never wanted to be the center of attention. His joy was seeing others’ successes, especially when it came to his grandchildren. Even in his passing, Bill insisted they maintain continuity of their education. To honor his wishes, services were delayed and a Memorial Visitation to recognize Bill’s wonderful life will be held Saturday, July 27, 2024, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Curley Funeral Home, 6116 W. 111th Street, Chicago Ridge; For Service information: 708-422-2700 or www.curleyfuneralhome.com.

H.I.S.T team learned that a staff manager for a licensed DCFS residential home had sexually assaulted multiple children under his care. The collaboration between the Area 1 H.I.S.T team, Fugitive Apprehension officers and the Federal Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force led to the capture of a child predator. The offender was charged with Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault of a Child, multiple counts of Criminal Sexual Assault and Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse. The above officer’s dedication and hard work has helped take a child predator off the streets of Chicago. Thanks for a job well done!
