Certainly made life a lot more fun for those of us who knew him. One of the reasons I will always have only fond memories of my childhood on the south side of Chicago. We are not far from St. Paddy's Day so, Slainte & RIP my friend.

Growing up in Beverly, we had a lot in common. Ours was a large family of 8 "children" much like Hartrich's
until Eva changed their's to 9. Rosenele was my best friend. She was the eldest of her 7 sisters I was the youngest of 6. These families were and continue to be blessings especially when one dies. All we can do is lean on each other and thank our God Almighty for FAMILY.
Hartrich(s), we feel your pain and shall keep you and yours in our prayers.

Nancy, I was so sad when I heard about Johnny, I know it was a long road for all of you. Johnny always had a smile on his face when I saw him and I could always count on a lot of laughs when I was around the both of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you as well as Eileen, your grandchildren and all of the family and friends who loved him.

To Nancy & Eileen:

Our sympathies to you both. I was just thinking about all those great times in Maryville, TN & watching the Bears win the Super Bowl! May the good lord give you both strength in this time of sadness. Stay strong as I know John would want you both to be. RIP my friend.

I met John at Brother Rice. He was the first person I talked to freshman year because he sat in front of me (alphabetical order). He was always smiling and fun. Sorry that he´s gone.
