Dear Mary Ann,
I am so sorry to read about John.
He was a great mentor and boss. The Roaco days is my connection. Now living in Minnesota has made my Chicago news slim. Prayers for your family. Remember the great times and memories.

Dear Mary Ann, I was so sad to hear about the death of John. Although I didn't know him well in high school, I do remember him as one of the truly "good guys" - always friendly and kind to everyone. You both seemed to be The Perfect match and certainly your marriage of 53 years proved that to be true. You have always been someone whom I greatly admired, Mary Ann , and I was very grateful to spend a little time with you at our 50th reunion. I will keep your family in my prayers as you set on this painful journey without your Dear John. Love, Mary Kay (O'Connor) Hertz
