Not sure what to say?

Sherry and family My sincere sympathy to each one of you on John's passing. It came as a total shock to me. When I would talk to him, he would say he was just fine and did not have COVID. We would visit about FR. McGivney HS, he new I was a retired school superintendent. He was very proud of that H.S. He was a strong supporter of the Edwardsville community and will be missed. Sincerely Steve Launius Nashville, Illinois

Dear Sherry & family I am so sorry you lost your dear husband John. I will be in touch. Love Connie Sheridan McCabe

I am so sorry for the family and loved ones. He will be missed. I felt blessed to meet such a wonderful man. I am sure he has had a great impact and helped so many people that feel the same. I knew when our paths crossed in life he was a outstanding individual. I treasured his friendship and advice since moving to Glen Carbon and meeting him.

I only met my second cousin John late in life-- at a Ritchie family reunion in 2006 which he helped plan. Then again at a second reunion in St. Louis. He was truly blest to have so many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Condolences to Sherry and the children. May he Rest In Peace. Faith Ritchie, Pelham, New York

I am so sorry to hear of John´s passing. When we first moved into Edwardsville and started attending St. Mary Church, singing with him in the choir, John was a warm, welcoming and friendly voice. He would seem to go out of his way to speak to me when we would meet in town or at events. He was a special man who will indeed be missed. God bless you, his family, in your sorrow and loss.

Deepest sympathy for the loss of your dad. husband, grandpa and friend. You and your family, Judy, will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Love Patty O´Connell P.S. l do not know your new address but will keep you in my prayers.
