Loquate’s Award “America’s Best – Father Community Builder©” goes to William Dormin, deceased of Park Ridge IL – 2025.

William “Bill” Dormin was an ordinary man in the eyes of the world, but in the eyes of his family he was the greatest father on earth. Here is his inspiring Eulogy by his son John Dormin.

This annual award is inspired by the memory of Thomas More Schippers 19th Judicial Circuit Court Judge of Lake County, Illinois, and Senior Investigative Counsel, U.S. House of Representatives, who passed away on September 6, 2019, surrounded by his loving family. He was born July 29, 1960 in Chicago, Illinois.

As Judge Schippers explains in this video: “True heroism is something that is a lifelong thing that you don’t get written up about. So each one of us when we are working in obscurity can be a hero each and every day. Not only do we have to remember that but we got to tell others in our work and in our home that that can be the case because our life’s work is our ministry.”

Congratulations Bill Dormin!
