John O. Houdek

To John's Family:
I worked with John at National Bank and Trust Co. in Wilmington, Ohio from 1989 to 1992. He was the first investment officer I worked with and it was an "experience". After 20 years in the trust business, I can say with sincerety he was one of the most knowledgeable investment advisors I have met. Personally, he was wonderful to work with and made coming to work fun. I have been haunted by this news and my prayers are with you all.

Our deepest regrets and sympathy go out to John's family, Nancy and his many friends. John will be missed but, not forgotten.

Dear Family of John,

I just recently started working with John and was in a state of shock when I was notified of his death. I am still finding it hard to believe.

He was so unbelievably competent and felt vulnerable for days after I heard the news. I believe God always has a plan, so I do not question this.

I am very sorry that he was taken away so early in life and wish you all strength for the time to come.

Sincerely,

Eileen Zens

I met John working at Norwest (Wells Fargo) and we both worked for M&I. He had a wonderful sense of humor. May he rest in peace.

Someone told me yesterday that God doesn't make mistakes, so I have to believe that the big guy has tapped Johhny Boy to come and help him out. As we all know, John always had strong ideas on how things should be run. I'm sure he will have things running smoothly by the time we join him, and all will know who the dude in the suit is. Johhny O, you have left a hole in my heart, but life would never have been the same without you.

I am so sorry for your lose. You are in my thoughts and prayers

Dear Judy and family, I want to express my deepest sympathy to you at this difficult time. I have many fond memories of our growing up years. Grandpa and Grandma and Great-grandma! Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.

I had the privilege to work with John for about three years. During that time I got to know a great guy he who cared greatly for his friends, family and clients. I will truly miss his sense of humor and friendship.
