Johnny
Growing up we were like brothers hanging out at Mozart school yard. I remember my Mom and Dad bought me a new bike. You and I took off the fenders the first day. My Mom took the bike away for 2 weeks. I remember being in Lake Zurich our Dad´s had just painted the house. It had just rained and we made Mud balls and threw it against the house. My Dad and your Dad chased us all over. Stupid us we ran into the bathroom. I could see the belt in hand. Thank God for our Mom´s saved us
Miss you Johnny

Dear Chris and family, although we know someday the Lord will call all of us home, we are never prepared to say goodbye. John was always a hardworking, sincere person with a kind heart who never asked for much and was happy with the simple things in life. Drove to Bloomington a couple of years ago to visit, we went to lunch and had a wonderful time. We talked a number of times by phone after our visit these past two years and I'm glad we did...though Johnny and I didn't see each other growing up because of our age difference and he was a Sox fan and I'm a Cub fan, he was always a truly special person in my eyes and heart...Johnny you will be sorely missed. May the Lord carry you in the Palm of His Hand into our Father's Kingdom of eternal life...you deserve the best Cuz ! Love, Cousins Joe and Colleen Martorano
