Dear Alice and Family -

Throughout his life, John served the church with dedication and dignity, from the old St. Peter and St. Paul in Chicago, to the interim church in Westmont, and then at the church in Burr Ridge. He was an inspiration to not only the choir members, but to all of us as well. Seeing him at rest yesterday brought to mind something I remembered. Two young brothers were among many who were gathered together at their grandmothers wake. The younger brother, after looking for his grandmother for a while and not seeing her anywhere, asked his older brother, Wheres Grandma? The older brother pointed to the casket and said - Oh, shes over there asleep in her treasure chest. Sleep well, John.

Until He returns

I first heard Mr Sutko voice 68 years ago when my mother took me into SS Peter and Paul Church on Western Avenue. He served the Orthodox Church for many many years and his voice now silenced in death will now be heard in the Kingdom of heaven. For me every time I will enter into our church his voice will be heard in my heart. Mr Sutko May your memory be eternal. Bob and Patti Lewandowski (Morgucz family)
