He failed to stop at a stop sign and was hit by two vehicles. He was 81 years old and lived on a horse farm in Saint Charles, Illinois. Mr. Jahn was famous for his architect designs in Washington, D.C., Berlin, and the Chicago Skyline. _______________________________ Licensed Kentucky Architect Vincent Dombek died on Feb- ruary 19, 2021. Mr. Dombek was a member of A.I.A. He was an avid sportsman who loved fishing and hunting. He was a proud woodworker, enjoyed working with stained glass and was a Hill Boy until the end.
