constitute and appoint each of Jennifer L. Kraft and
Richard E. Barry, severally and not jointly, signing
singly, as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of
Grantor to:

Grantor's capacity as an officer, for purposes of
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the 'Exchange Act'), of Aon
Corporation (the 'Company'), Forms 3, 4 and 5,
including but not limited to any amendments
thereto, in accordance with Section 16(a) of the

Grantor hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact
full power and authority to do and perform any and
every act and thing whatsoever requisite, necessary or

revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that
such attorney-in-fact, or such attorney-in-fact's

acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in

of the Exchange Act.

This Power of Attorney shall be effective on the date
