Not sure what to say?

Not sure if this is the same John Barlow that was at St. Eugene Church in the the 1950s RIP

I think of John often. He was the greatest!

Pamela and family,
My husband and son, Phil and Matt Janicak, and myself extend our love to you all. I met John when I was a parishioner at St. Denis Church. John was very supportive of me after I had marched in Selma when my neighbors became threatening upon learning of that. We had many fine discussions then and later when he worked at St Agatha Church and I worked as a teacher on the West Side. Later, in 1976, we were honored by his officiating at our wedding at Loyola Hospital’s...

We extend our deepest sympathy to you & your family. May God's LOVE surround you & your loved ones during this difficult time.
(We are Brad Feely's Grandparents).

I was privileged to work with John at Pretrial Services. He was a wonderful person, a great supervisor and colleague. He was greatly loved throughout our department. We enjoyed talking about "the old days" in the civil rights movement.

Pamela & Family:

Our deepest sympathy go out to you and your family. God bless you all in your time of grief.
