John W. Navin

Dear Pat and Rita,
Sorry to hear about your dad. Our condolences to you and your family.
I can remember hawking the "New World" newspaper through Austin on a cold winter day and your mom and dad would always subscribe. Rita, I don't know if you remember me but I was in your science class in 1969 and you brought me downtown to hear the astronauts speak. It really was one of those events that changed my life. I still think about it to this day.
He will be in our prayers....

Dear John,Sheila,Rita,and Patrick,
So sorry to hear about Uncle John's passing. He was a great guy, and he was so full of life. It was always fun when Uncle John came to visit. He had neverending and enjoyable stories to tell about growing up in Spring Valley, WWII, and in later life, his trips to Ireland and meeting his cousins over there. We are so sorry we are not able to make the services, but we will remember Uncle John with masses and prayers. Take care and we hope everyone has...

When I was a college student in Chicago, many years back, I worked for, admired, and learned a lot from Judge Navin when I was his clerk at the Traffic Court system. My condolences to the family. He was a great guy.
