Our deepest condolences to the Gobel family. We knew John at the Chicago Catholic University Club in the 1950's. He was very active in club activities and it was a great pleasure to associate with him. May he rest in peace.

Carol,
My deepest sympathy on your loss.
I have enjoyed your company and John's at the East Cuyahoga meetings. I always appreciated it when he told me that I had "hit a home run" with the program. He was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed.
