Wayne Steven Boor, 78, of Hanover Park, Illinois, passed away peacefully at his home on November 1, 2025. He was the beloved husband of Ann Elizabeth (Skirha) Boor, with whom he shared 56 wonderful years of marriage.
Born on May 6, 1947, to the late Steve and Helen (Pagurko) Boor, Wayne was the cherished brother of Robert (Leslie) Boor of Loudon, Tennessee. He was a loving and devoted father to Lori Ann (Martin) Trekas, Scott Wayne (Linda), and Derek James (Sheri) Boor, and a proud grandfather of Alexandra, Nicholas, Madison, Kayla, Nathan, and Christian.
Wayne was a longtime resident of Hanover Park, having lived there for 34 years, and previously resided in Cicero for 19 years. Throughout his life, his strong work ethic and generous heart had a profound impact on everyone he met. He dedicated over 20 years to Glidden Paint in Chicago, later worked at The Tinder Box in North Riverside, and served faithfully as Sexton at Sts. Peter and Paul Lutheran Church in Riverside. Wayne also contributed his talents at The Exchange Bank and Bank of America in Chicago, where he eventually retired.
Wayne was deeply involved in his community, coaching WCB youth baseball while his sons were growing up. A passionate Chicago sports fan, he followed the White Sox, Bears, Bulls, Hawks, and WWE wrestling, and was a longtime fantasy football league champion, celebrated for his encyclopedic knowledge of sports statistics, general trivia, and history. Wayne also loved reading, especially about history, and his endless knowledge made him a fascinating and inspiring presence. He cherished quiet moments savoring a perfect cup of coffee. Through both triumphs and challenges, he remained unfailingly positive, and his warmth, humor, infectious laughter, and love of life could light up any room. He will be deeply missed, but his spirit will live on through all of us.
The family will hold a Celebration of Life in his honor at a later date.
Scripture and Reflection:�“The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He walks me through dark pastures and restores my soul. I will walk in Your sunshine and everlasting love forever. Weep not for me—I have lived my life. My days were filled with more joy than pain. Together we shared our babies and our love for 56 years, surrounded by family and friends. My life has been rich and full of everything I could have ever wanted. Now I sleep peacefully until you join me in heaven.”
