John J. Kontek

Darlene - I was so sorry to hear about John's passing. I know you cherish all the wonderful memories, and you have your family there for support. Love - Chris Dessimoz Lindh

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. John, you were always a fair honest and good supervisor to me for 17 years. We had a lot of good laughs. Rest in peace J.K.

I was one of the ST. Thecla 'Goofy Guys' that hung around with John and played ball, hockey, went bowling, hung around Imlay park, and was the drummer for our polka band that entertained the nuns at school activities. John played accordion and was the only one of us with any talent. We shared a great childhood in the old neighborhood. I feel sorry for the youth of today not having a time like ours. We would spend hours in the forest preserves throwing rocks in the river in summer and tobogganing on the Jensen slides in winter. Time of our lives. Rest in peace old pal. Your polka pal, Roger Powell
