I've been great friends with Lisa and knew her dad through school and our friendship. He was a funny man, one of the good guys. He will be missed!

My dad was the greatest Dad a girl could ask for. He was a perfect mix of a f'riend" and some one I could count on and lean on. I will never forget all the wonderful lessons he taught me and all the special times we shared. Be at peace now dad and catch up with mom... 1 day I will see you again. Love your little Princess Lisa

I had the pleasure of working with both John and his wife at District 204. John was a wonderful man with a great sense of humor. May he rest in peace.
