More than a great husband, father and grandfather, a real gentleman, a professional and caring businessman and a friend to all who worked in some capacity with him. Arlington Heights lost a great resident and everyone who knew him, lost an excellent friend. May John rest in peace.

Our sympathy and prayers are sent, what a gentleman everyday. I had the honor of meeting Mr. John with my dad (Bill Kyska) on many occasions having Coffee at Dunton House or at the Race Track having some giggles and chats. My dad always talked of John and what a great good man he is. Thinking of you all. Missy
