Dan O'Donnell & Community Leadership

This month's newsletter is dedicated to the memory of Dan O' Donnell, a highly influential Lincoln Park businessman and property owner, popularly known as the 'Alderman' of Armitage Avenue. O' Donnell's prolific involvement in improving the Armitage neighborhood and dedication to those in need made his Hardware store at 925 W. Armitage Ave. a "beacon of light" for an entire community and all the lives he helped. Read more about his life and community contributions here.

Although I did not know Dan before moving both my work and home to the Armitage corridor, I saw him semi-frequently when I would go to Armitage Hardware to get keys copied after finalizing a new lease. I quickly grew to appreciate his excitement for me whenever I helped get a deal signed. As I got to know Dan, I came to realize just how involved he was in the neighborhood, and at some point I realized that he was a huge part of the reason Armitage is what it is today.

Reflecting on his life makes me wonder how I can invest, empower, and support my community like Dan did. Whether providing employment, coordinating development, or fighting for the neighborhood corridor's landmark status, Dan was a shining example of what a leader can be. During his life, he improved his community immeasurably by acting with foresight, compassion, and integrity to the benefit of all of us who call Armitage Avenue home.

Dan's devotion and hard work in the community made him an icon amongst Armitage residents. His efforts to better the community will not be soon forgotten and serve as an inspiration for those of us lucky enough to have known him.

What can we do today to invest in our community for tomorrow?
