This is sincerely a great loss to the fair housing and lending community of Milwaukee, as John was noted for his active participation in advocating for the low to moderate income community of the area. Respected lender and banker we will all miss him dearly. My prayers and my heart felt sympathies to all he left behind. My guess is that God need a good community lender to advocate for him on his purchase. Well God you got one of the best. God speed John

Dear Jane and Family,
My heartfelt sympathy is with all of you today.
As I read about his life I thought, "What a tribute" to a life filled with the work of the Good Lord..How proud you must be and how proud God above is as HE welcomed John into the halls of the heavenly kingdom.
Welcome home my beloved son..Job well done."
That is what we all hope to hear one day.
Blesings and Prayers..Maureen

Dearest cousins,
We are so sorry we cannot be there to share the good memories about John. Although we've been separated by time and miles for many years the early flashbacks are so good it brings tears for the lost moments. John was such a kind and good person and I'm so sorry I personally didn't get to know him closer as an adult; he had his dad's sense of humor. Our prayers are with you and know our faith allows us to be comfortable knowing the reunion going on upstairs is as Irish as it is down here. Fr. Joe always had a good laugh about that. Be at peace.
with love,

"Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sun-light on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you waken in the morning hush, I am the soft uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine in the night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am noth there. I did not die."
I have no words to express how sorry I am. You are in my thoughts and prayers everyday. Stay strong for eachother.
