Please accept our condolances on the death of John. I knew John professionally and as a friend, while working for the Hazel Crest Park District. John gave a very strong commitment to the community of Hazel Crest and took the job as board president very seriously. John was always opinionated, liked his beer and women. There was no shortage of beer but sometimes women were a little scarce. I will always remember our golf outings, state conferences and John's enthusiasm for having fun.
