John Lavin

My heartfelt condolences to the Lavin family. Ah, the memories! Jack was a true newspaperman in the days when Chicago was a genuinely competitive newspaper town, and it was personally fulfilling and a lot of fun to be just that -- a true newspaperman.

Mark, Ann and family
So sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Our deepest sympathies.

Scott and Deb Woods and family

So long Jack...I had the pleasure of working with Jack at Local#1 for many years. My prayers our with you.

Mark, Ann, Dan, Bridgette and Casey: We have you in our prayers during this very difficult time. May your memories of Jack be fond and comforting.
Best wishes.
Doug, Elaine, Lauren, Chloe and Faith.

Jack will always be the great friend, outstanding professional and humorus lunch partner. It was a pleasure to have nominated him for the Chicago Journalism Hall of Fame. To Pat and the family he was so very proud of-- my thoughts, prayers and feelings are with you.

We're so sorry to hear of your loss. Please know that the Lavin Family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Hey Mark, I hear the fishin's good up there.

I feel honored to have met Jack and spent many holidays with all of you and knowing how you made me feel right at home with all of you...even though I was only a neighbor, I am so sorry for your loss and know that my prayers are with you all during this time. Love, Joe

So long pal:
We worked together at City News and "played" together at various reporters associations. Will miss you. My condolences to your family.

Mark, Ann, Dan, Bridget & Casey,
On my way back from lunch today I heard the song by MercyMe that sings: "I can only imagine what it will be like, when I walk by Your side..." Your Dad (Bapa) now knows the glory that awaits all of us in heaven. Wish I could be there...but my prayers and thoughts are with you.
Love,
Julie
