I am so very sorry to learn of John's death. I remember him fondly as a student when I was his teacher at Evergreen Park High Achool. He was a bright, sweet boy who loved his family. Blessings to all of you.

Banderas Family,

John was a good neighbor to my grandmother, Julie Tamkus. I will never forget the night he shoveled my car out of a snowstorm. It cracked us up when he called my grandma "jules". My sympathies to you and your mother. Ann was always a sweet lady and I hope she is doing well.
