Paul Houlihan
Fox’s Pizza in Orland Park & Mokena, Guinness, Madden Funds and Flood Brothers Disposal present the Hibernian Radio Hour and this week Houli dedicates this week’s show to his oldest brother Paul who passed away on Monday. Houli has some fond memories of his brother who was 13 years older than him and spent a lot of time working at their family business before joining the Army in the ’50s. Houli shares some of his favorite stories about Paul including how certain bartenders knew to help him out when he was making sales with clients and the time Houli had pneumonia as a kid and got to spend most of that time with his brother. Rest in Peace to a wonderful guy.
Jeff Lange
Then we take a dive into the vault with a look back at one of Jeff Lange’s interviews from December 2023. Jeff is a retired 30-year veteran of the Cook County Sheriff’s Police and was born and raised in Bridgeport. He is the 1st Vice-President of the Emerald Society and has served as a Board Member for almost 10 years. He began his Law Enforcement career at Cook County Jail in ’86 where he also met his wonderful wife Cathleen before he went to work for the Sheriff’s police. He was mainly involved in Narcotics, Undercover as well as the Metropolitan Enforcement Group – an undercover task force made up of the State Police, the County Police and municipalities in that area. “Our basic focus was ‘mid-level and up’ narcotics people”. He takes us through a typical day working undercover and shares a story about how he gained an informant’s trust. “You need to have an in.. It’s about getting involved.” Jeff shares his experience visiting the Emerald Isle in 2015 when he carried the US flag with The Emerald Society in Dublin’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade. He also shares some of his funnier career stories including watching a colleague deal with a suspect who was undressing in the station.. It’s always a good time when Jeff is around! We head over to obituaries with a special section dedicated to the late Paul Houlihan – please keep Paul and his family in your prayers.
