I just found out about John's passing yesterday at a John Carrol Class of 62 luncheon and I was just so sorry to hear this news. As a friend I would just like to say that I will be praying for John and I hope he is looking down on me and assisting me as I lead my life. I will , of course, be praying for his family and God bless the memories that the family has of John. He was a great classmate from JCU.

Angela,

Along with many I was startled to learn about John. I worked with John at The Northern Trust. Wonderful, witty man who was a great marketer and always a pleasure to be with. Enjoyed lunch with him and catching up a few months ago.

I lost my wife eight years ago after a long illness. I was somewhat prepared but still a shock when she died. I can only imagine what you and your family had to endureQ. Although the pain eases over time, the sense of loss is always there. Wonderful memories are comforting,as are children.

Pleas know that I am thinking of you and your family and have you in my prayers.
