As a young sales guy for the comic printers for the Sun-Times I met John many years ago and although I only handled these duties for a short time.John was one of the warmest most welcoming folks I met in my time in the printing industry.He was always a friend and willing to share his vast knowledge.His kind is a vanishing breed and although we had lost contact the last few years the world will be a sadder place without him.Miss you pal "Fast eddie" Feldheim

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family. John was a great guy. I worked with Sully for many years and the Sun-Times and he was one of the best!
