In Skokie, the two local businessmen who hold these jobs were recently named Humanitarians of the Year for reasons that extend well beyond the successes they have made of their businesses, Skokie Mayor George Van Dusen said.
The Skokie Village Board presented Rob Paddor of Evanston Subaru and Avi Goldfeder of Pharmore Drugs with proclamations announcing them as “humanitarians of the year,” the first time the village ever bestowed that title, officials said.
