Serving overseas, but homeless here

AURORA IL-- A towering pile of personal belongings was stacked and covered with a plastic sheet in the front lawn in the 400 block of West Downer Place, where the Sfeir family was evicted Tuesday under the watch of reluctant officers from the Kane County Sheriff's Department.

Meanwhile, Jorge Sfeir -- the homeowner, husband and father of six -- is caring for wounded soldiers in Iraq, where the Army major serves as a physician. Sfeir is scheduled to return to Aurora by the end of June, according to his wife, Jenny Sfeir.

Jorge Sfeir, 57, who maintains a private gynecology practice on Lincoln Avenue in Aurora, has a long history of delinquencies -- and nobody, including family members, is disputing that. Jorge Sfeir admitted Tuesday via cellular phone from Iraq that he hadn't paid his mortgage to GMAC Financial Services "for over a year," he said.

But neighbors and county deputies were upset that the home of a military man, currently away on active duty, was completely emptied by workers hired by GMAC.

The Sfeirs have six children, three in the Marine Corps. One of the Marines is on duty in Iraq, and the other two have already served stints there.

Another daughter, Emily, is a cadet at the United States Military Academy at West Point, and is home on a break.
