Title
Honor David Klein and Britney Yotter - Orland Funeral Home
History
Mayor Pekau would like to honor David Klein and Britney Yotter for their donation of $3,700 to the Orland Park Police Department for bulletproof vests.
In addition, Mayor Pekau and the Village Board would like to recognize Mr. David Klein and Ms. Britney Yotter for honoring a homeless WW II Navy vet who passed away in Chicago. Orland Funeral Home hosted the funeral, free of charge. His family was not been found over all these years as he went by several different names, DOBs, SSANs etc. due to mental illness.
A Former Cook County Sheriffs PD detective recently got involved and found his two sisters in Iowa who came to Chicago for the service. Chief McCarthy provided a police escort for the funeral car along with the Will County Sheriffs Police to the border of Orland Park where the Sheriffs took over to the Abraham Lincoln Cemetery. Orland Funeral home did the whole service free of charge.
Mayor Pekau and the Village Board of Trustees thank you for the amazing monitary donation for bulletproof vests and for your selfless act of kindness to the homeless WW II Navy vet.
