Statement From Governor Pritzker On Passing Of Tom Hynes

"With his passing, Tom Hynes leaves behind an outsized legacy for the people of Illinois. On top of his many accomplishments, including his early support of the Equal Rights Amendment, Tom raised a family of committed public servants who are making a difference that will endure for generations. Every parent hopes that will be the mark they leave. I'm proud to call two of his sons, Dan and Matt, my dear friends, and the values of service, decency and hard work that they learned from their father live on in them.
 
"The stories told about our lives rest in the legacies we leave, in the people we shape and influence and care for who carry on the work we were devoted to.  Tom's legacy lives on in his children and grandchildren and their continued commitment to Illinois and our country."
