Just wanted to let you know how sorry I am to hear of your loss.

I am Kathy Tetzlaff, the sister of John's close friends Joe and Peg Persaud. As another of his friends, I know John to be the kind of man every man wants to be. He embodied all things good and pure. I will miss his light, thoughtfulness, and love dearly. -- Peace and Light,

We are so very sorry for the loss of your father. You may not remember us, but we lived behind you in Wheeling on Mayer Avenue (next door to the Schmid family, who lived directly behind you.) Our thoughts are with you during this sad time. I knew your mom and dad from when we were at Mark Twain School. I helped your mom with the Spaghetti dinner night. Your parents were wonderful people. No words can express how sorry we are, but know that we share in your sadness.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

To John's Family; I grew up with your father in Des Plaines. We graduated together in 1966. I was shocked and saddened to read of your father's death and that of your mother. Pls accept my deepest sympathy.
