Bartholomew Balla Obituary
Bart Balla, 55, died December 8, 2023, of complications from alcohol dependence. Bart graduated from Maine South High School and Western Illinois University. He was proud of his 20 years of service with the TSA at O'Hare, loved the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Cubs, and befriended dogs throughout his Park Ridge neighborhood. Bart's surviving brother, Matt, and sister, Clare, welcome donations in Bart's memory to Resurrection Medical Center, Shirley Ryan AbilityLab or Rainbow Hospice Ark, as all provided exceptional care to Bart this year. Services held privately.
