MB,

I remember when you and John started dating. From the very beginning, it didn't take much to see how happy the two of you were together. John was a decent man. A devoted husband, loving father and dedicated friend -- he made a difference. I was deeply saddened to learn this evening of John's passing but consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity of knowing him.

My deepest sympathies to you, my friend, and to your family. Please know you are all in my prayers.

We said goodbye today to one of the great guys of all time...a great husband, father, brother and son, and a lifelong friend.

John will be remembered always and will be sorely missed. He lived for the love of his life, Mary, and their 4 beautiful children, Liz, Joe, Krissie and Margie...he was so proud of you all and you are his living legacy.

John was a true "Man's man", always thinking of others, especially his own family, in whatever he did.

I miss him already but his spirit lives on.

To the Haggenjos Family:

Our prayers are with you. We'll always remember John from the Irish Fest, working the St. Catherine School plays, the grade school volleyball games, and always being at Noelle's and Margie's softball games.
John golfed in my Sunday morning foursome for six years and we became good friends. John was truly a good man and will be missed.
