So very sad to hear of John's passing. John and I worked on several projects over the years and I had a fondness for his direct speak and energy.
We'll keep John and his family in our prayers.

John,staunch and loyal friend. You did not just read history;you helped change Wilmette's history in ways that still affect us who remain. I remember your intensity in a cause which was always follewed by your wonderful humor and our laughs-How much I and so many others owe to your friendship-with great love

John,
You helped me and my family so much when my John passed away a year ago. I remember our laughs, you bringing dinners for us, you worrying that will go hungry. I remember your beautiful poems, your love for your wife, and you telling me how much my late husband and you were alike. Say hi to him in Heaven.
I miss you friend,
Ewa and the children
