Biography

Halloin was born on March 20, 1923 to Louis Joseph and Laura Halloin in Lincoln, Wisconsin.[2][4] Halloin attended, but never finished college, which he described as his one major regret.[3]

Halloin served in the United States Army during World War II. He was a participant in the D-Day invasion of Normandy and the liberation of the Dachau concentration camp.[2] He married Isabelle Mastriocola on June 18, 1949.

He was elected to the Green Bay City Council for the first time in 1962.[2] He served for eight terms as an alderman and supervisor representing Green Bay's west side.[2]

Halloin served as the city's mayor for sixteen years from 1979 to 1995. During his tenure, Halloin obtained funding for the construction of a new Walnut Street Bridge, which crosses the Fox River.[3] Halloin helped to upgrade Lambeau Field, the home stadium of the Green Bay Packers, and acquired land for the present-day riverwalk along the Fox River.[3]

He declined to seek re-election in 1995 and retired from office after four-consecutive, four-year terms.[2] He was succeeded by Paul Jadin.[2]

Sam Halloin died on January 11, 2013, at the age of 89.[2] His wife, Isabelle, died in 2010.[3]

gollark: I originally tried `load` with an env table for the sandbox, but that failed horribly for some reason. Basically, while functions I explicitly redefined were fine, anything depending on them kept the old values somehow.
gollark: That kind of makes sense. Is there a way around that other than pcalling it?
gollark: Well, it's better than potatOS's current sandbox... probably.
gollark: `setfenv cannot change environment of given object` - what?
gollark: The best thing about ROT13 is that it can scale easily to advancing hardware.
