COVER STORY
With Care
Detective Geoff Woitel always brought out the best in everybody and everything. He lived an amazing life in a way that should inspire all Chicago Police Officers. So many of his friends on the job gathered to offer a final salute to a man who was truly one of Chicago’s finest, a memorable event on the day he passed that only accentuated his legacy of living life to the fullest. And to accentuate this tribute to Woitel, Lodge 7 provides a preview of its plan for health and wellness for members that will help them maximize their quality of life.
