Not sure what to say?

I was sad to learn of John’s passing. My brother and I spent a lot of time with John during grade school years. We watched out our living room window with keen interest when your house on Park Ave was being built. As soon as you moved in, we started to hang out with John – playing catch, riding bikes, helping occasionally with his paper route – just the usual things kids did after school or during the summer.

So very sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers to the entire family. Love, Bob and Kim Fancher.

We were so sorry to hear of John's passing when we were in Mendota for our dads funeral last weekend. Dad thought so highly of John and Gene.

Thoughts and prayers to all the family. Neighbors and friends for a long time. Rest in peace John.

Our condolences to all of you !

I knew John being a customer for many years. John was always friendly, helpful, with a smile on his face. When he worked Sundays during the football season, I can see him being at his work desk with a small television set watching the Bears. My condolences to the family. Chris Csernus, customer

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family during this tough time:) I remember John and Gene from Stephinich’s I am so sorry for your loss:) ((Hugs))

You will be missed, my friend. You can sit and chat with my dad all day long about drag racing!! Rest easy, John..... Prayers to Aunt Teresa and John's family
