-Catholic Citizens of Illinois
Tom Roeser, Co-Founder and Chairman of Catholic Citizens of Illinois, passed away early in the morning on May 29, 2011.

For those of us who considered him a friend, he will be sorely missed. Visitation will be Friday, 4 to 9 p.m. at Nelson Funeral Home, 820 Talcott Road, Park Ridge.
