| ||||||
5 | WHEREAS, Gulliume Moor was born on March 7, 1943 in a | ||||||
6 | working-class neighborhood of Chicago; he was proud of and | ||||||
7 | loyal to his cultural roots in the largely Lithuanian community | ||||||
8 | but also came to embrace an extremely wide range of cultural | ||||||
9 | interests; and
| ||||||
10 | WHEREAS, Gulliume Moor attended Roosevelt University, | ||||||
11 | where he received a bachelor's degree as well as two master's | ||||||
12 | degrees; he earned his Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy from | ||||||
13 | Northwestern University in 1972 and a Doctor of Psychology from | ||||||
14 | the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in 1979; he was | ||||||
15 | affectionately known as "Doc" by many of the young men he | ||||||
16 | treated as a psychologist; he helped others a great deal and | ||||||
17 | was known to be a "cool cat" in his dealings with patients; and
| ||||||
18 | WHEREAS, In 1978, Gulliume Moor married Elaine Lewitter, | ||||||
19 | with whom he shared both a professional and personal life for | ||||||
20 | the next 40-plus years; Bill lived a life full of a quest for | ||||||
21 | knowledge, studying subjects ranging from philosophy and | ||||||
22 | psychology to mathematics and Spanish language and culture; he |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | had recently completed a novel and enjoyed the culinary arts, | ||||||
2 | becoming a gourmet cook; he was also an enthusiast and | ||||||
3 | supporter of multiple cultural institutions, including the | ||||||
4 | Lyric Opera, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Joffrey | ||||||
5 | Ballet, and many theater groups; and
| ||||||
6 | WHEREAS, Upon closing his practice and retiring, Gulliume | ||||||
7 | Moor devoted his life to the arts, taking acting classes at | ||||||
8 | Victory Gardens and other theaters; he enjoyed acting in plays | ||||||
9 | and films and especially savored writing plays; he looked | ||||||
10 | forward to dining all over the city with his wife and friends; | ||||||
11 | he relished a good argument, and one was never bored for lack | ||||||
12 | of conversation or camaraderie with Bill; he will be remembered | ||||||
13 | by friends, colleagues, clients, and neighbors in Oak Park and | ||||||
14 | in Mexico for his strength of character, generosity, and his | ||||||
15 | inclusiveness; and
| ||||||
16 | WHEREAS, Gulliume Moor is survived by his wife, Elaine; | ||||||
17 | therefore, be it
| ||||||
18 | RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE ONE HUNDRED FIRST GENERAL | ||||||

20 | Gulliume "Bill" Moor and extend our sincere condolences to his | ||||||
