Dear Patty and Family,
You do not know me, but I worked with John in Chicago and Northwest Indiana. He was such a great person to work with and always had a smile on his face. He always went the extra mile to help everyone out anytime he could. Everyone loved and appreciated him for that. I remember he often talked about looking forward to playing bingo with you whenever I asked him about his plans for the weekend. I know he has been and will be so dearly missed by both coworkers and customers alike. I hope you find peace and comfort to help you through his passing.
