Please accept my profound condolences for your loss.

I was part of the Fluor-Daniel family (Toronto, Vancouver and Chicago). John was one of the first individuals I met upon relocation to Chicago in 1994. He was an excellent engineer with a very approachable and friendly manner. He brought people together and strived for TEAM success.

John Santic will be sorely missed.

John was a friend from way back in our college days in Champaign-Urbana. I remember some really good times watching sports on the big screen at a place called T-Bird with Dave and Cory! John was the guy that always had a smile on his face and was glad to see you. I know he will be greatly missed by all his friends and family. GODSPEED JOHN

John was both a customer and a friend of mine. Over the past 18 years, I had the priviledge of working with John. I was shocked to hear of his passing. My condolences go out to his family. He will be truly missed.
