I'm so sorry for your loss of Johnie. He was a special friend of my wife {Carol Rautio Mack}, she grew up with Johnie in Ely. Yes there will be "Polka Time" in heaven. Reynold Mack

My condolences to John´s extended family on his passing. John was a great classmate and friend. I guess there will be polka time in heaven.

Mary Jo, my heart breaks for you. Even though we lost touch over the years, I always knew what a close and special relationship you and John had. I was happy to hear that you had moved back to Ely to be where the two of you grew up - to be amongst friends and family ties. You will be in my prayers, Mary Jo.

I loved hearing John´s joyous accordion playing.
