Well.....I guess whenever i think of my uncle John, I think of all of the fun-stupid things that we used to do. He taught me things from fishing (which didn't really work out in the long run) to snowbiz(a whole story by itself). It is really hard to describe somebody like my uncle. There are just to many words. When I went to his wake, i was thinkin of all of the fun times, that i couldn't cry. He was just to funny to cry about. I only wish that we could have some more fun, but i guess that it was his time and I know that he is always with me. I miss him so much, but then i just think of all the fun times and the sadness goes away. I bet that many people have this same feeling. My uncle John....

My godfather was a loving and caring person. He will be missed dearly!! All the memories will remain in my thoughts and will not be forgotten. I will always remember him rushing mom {Dawn} to the hospital to be by my bed side when I was ill and never left my side until I was stable to the doctors. The Grand AM. What a mess my uncle John got me out of. Snow Biz was my first job that he had taught me the trade. Many Holidays will be kept in the families memories. {1/2 used deoderants at x-mas} I will miss u and always love uncle John!!

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so He put his arms around you and whispered, "Come to Me". With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away. Although we love you dearly, we could not make you stay. A GOLDEN HEART stopped beating, hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST.

I always left Angelino's feeling better than I did when I came in because of John's friendliness. John was a generous man whose pizzas reflected his values. Our family has lost a pal.

My deepest condolences to the family of a man who,with his son Jake,stood by and held my hand while I learned the car business back at Olympia Fields Ford,then provided me w/a pizza joint to cruise out to when I also bailed out of the car business. John, if you can hear me, I was actually gonna spend some money there on my next trip down. Thanks for being a bright spot in my life! Tommy W.

My deepest sympathy to John's family. I got to know John personally when I became a member of the New Lenox Lions Club. John was a great supporter and friend to the Lions Club. A great guy. I will miss his positive attitude and strong work ethic.
