Having grown up in the neighborhood, I have fond memories of John and Helen. They were loving parents and wonderful neighbors. We kids all started out at Holy Family Church school together and I spent time playing with Clairie and the Kozicki's and other kids in the area. My prayers go out to the family.
Rest in peace, John.
