Willow Springs board honors Trustee Ernie Moon with moment of silence
Summary
The Willow Springs Village Board opened its Jan. 9 meeting with tributes to longtime trustee Ernie Moon, recalling decades of volunteer service across local commissions and clubs and observing a moment of silence.
The Willow Springs Village Board opened its Jan. 9 meeting by paying tribute to Trustee Ernie Moon, who recently died. President Nedimier described Moon as someone who "embodied what it means to be a public servant," noting Moon’s service as a village trustee, police commissioner, water commissioner, park district commissioner and long‑time Lions Club member.
Board members followed with personal memories. Trustee Carr said Moon "volunteered time for everything" and recalled Moon’s willingness to help neighbors and family during difficult times. President Nedimier invited additional remarks and led the board in a moment of silence.
Why it matters: Moon’s service spanned multiple village boards and civic organizations, and trustees framed his death as a loss to longstanding local institutional knowledge and volunteer leadership.
The board then moved on to routine business after the remembrance. The meeting adjourned at 7:45 p.m.
