We send our deepest sympathy to Sue and the entire family.
We enjoyed John´s friendship here in Scottsdale during the winter months and back in Illinois during the summer months.
Golf, barbecues, happy hours, St. Patrick´s party bike, pontoon ride on Lauderdale Lakes were special memories we shared with John and Sue.
His contagious smile says it all. He loved life and shared that energy with his friends.
We will miss him. Our hearts go out to the family the next two days as you celebrate his wonderful and joyful life.
