Sincerest sympathy on the passing of your dad. You should be thankful for the many years and memories, also very proud of the man that he was. We were neighbors for many years in South Holland.

I was so sad to hear about Uncle John's passing. I still remember him bringing us bags of socks. He was always the best uncle. My thoughts are with all of you.

Dear Uncle John, I want to tell you that for me has always been the uncle of America that I have loved since I was little and did not know you yet; but you and Aunt Flora have loved me even more in the difficult days of my family. You have always been present in my heart and I hope that you will oversee me from the sky like you do with your kids. Thank you for the love you have always had for my aunt and my cousins. I send you a kiss knowing that you'll always be near. Hello uncle, with love...

Dear Sharon and Family...I'm very sorry to hear that your Dad passed away. Among his many accomplishments I read that he was a WWII war hero. We all can be thankful of the soldiers that fought for our country during that time. Without them we probably wouldn't be around. Please remember that although your Dad has passed from this life, he is now reunited with your Mom, in heaven...Love, Timmy

Dear Patti, Bernie, Dennis and Sharon,
Knowing your Dad and having the opportunity
to share experiences of him with all of you has given me memories that will warm my heart always. There have been many hours of laughter spurred on by JB and his special charm. He will be missed and cherished for his individuality and life lessons. With much love and sympathy...
