There are no words . . . holding you in my heart.

I just found out of John Peter's passing. My heart is heavy hearing your loss as wonderful neighbors and his parents. John graduated from Notre Dame as my son Eric was starting there. John was a great help to Eric giving him many insights of Notre Dame. Eric was in contact with John in his last days and treasured him as a long time friend and neighbor.

John was a great music director, musician, friend and had great ideas for concerts. We will miss him dearly in Lockport. He cared so much for anyone who came to him. John D.

Sending prayers, hugs and support to his family and his close friend John.

To John's Family & Friends,

My prayers are with you in this time of great loss. John and I were friends living in Stanford Hall at Notre Dame. He played the organ at my wedding. Although we did not see each other after college, we maintained a friendship through Facebook. John will be missed, but his spirit will remain.

Eternal rest grant unto your servant, John, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed,...

John Peter will be deeply missed. He was good long time friend and the best man at my wedding. Thinking of all the great times we had over the years make me smile.

Dear John, Ginny, Mary,
So sorry to hear of the loss of your precious son and brother. I hope you find comfort in all the great memories you all shared. JP will remain in your hearts forever.
Love, Peggy Franke
