I want to express my deepest condolences to Edie and her family. John and I attended Loyola Law school and were the closest of friends and associates for many years. John served the legal community as a practicing attorney for over 50 years. I will always remember the time he devoted to the law, the ideas he expressed, the honesty of his actions and the enthusiasm he exhibited. John will be missed, not only by his family, but by everybody that he ever knew in his life.
