John F. Lootens

Just wanted to send this old photo of a piano lesson with Mr. Lootens!

I knew John only a little, but in a way I feel I've known him all my life! John's father, Victor and my father Ed were classmates at Our Lady of Victory School, and became lifelong friends. My stepmother Alice was also a lifelong friend of Lootens family. I was very sorry to learn of John's death and have been remembering John and the whole family in my prayers.

John was always a true friend and someone I looked up to as a model to emulate. I am shocked and saddened to hear of his sudden passing. I have often thought of him and the jokes, stories, games, and many happy times we shared at the lake. My...
