Forest Park Mayor Rory Hoskins dedicated a street sign honoring the late Geung Goo (Michael) Lee last Saturday. The ceremony took place at the corner of Madison Street and Des Plaines Avenue, where Lee operated Lee’s Auto Service for over 30 years.
Lee, who died in July from a heart attack, lived in Forest Park. Until 2006, he owned and operated the Mobil franchise and mechanic shop in town. He and his family also owned several apartment buildings in Forest Park and operated other businesses in the Chicago area.
“The street naming ceremony will commemorate his contributions to Forest Park, his dedication to the community, and his legacy as a respected businessman and community leader,” officials said in a statement.
