To Mary and Family,
John was one of the most dedicated members of Prospect Heights Fire Company. He would be there to help in anyway in a moments notice. He was a true friend to many of us. Although he has moved on to a better place, we can all treasure the happy memories John has provided with his wittiness and personality.
