John was a class act and was an excellent bank officer for many years. He helped people when things were "not so good" and slways had a smile. He also was a part time employee at Chicago area racetracks and was also an excellent money room person. Aside from being a friendly person, he also was probably the smartest man I ever knew. He will be sadly missed.

John and I served as trustees together for many years in the Racing Industry. John was a true gentleman with a strong softness that I admired. We pray for comfort for his family as he speeds to his place in heaven.
