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.

My deepest condolences to John's family. Although I now live in
Michigan old friends from the old "Wally's Tap" days informed
of John's passing. My regrets to the passing of a nice guy.
