Missing you chef just found out about your passing you were wonderful man and good mentor to me it's was pleasure knowing you and meeting you

Missing you. RIP

I just was made of aware of John's Passing. What a wonderful person and great spirit. He is one of the few professionals in the restaurant industry with kindness, respect and love for people. I am sad he is gone! RIP my friend!

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

I grew up with John and was his long-time neighbor. I was friends with him and all of his brothers especially his oldest brother, Greg.
John worked hard and played hard...maybe a little too hard on both ends of that spectrum.
The bottom-line is that John was passionate about pretty much everything he did. I feel very lucky that I was able to know him and the rest of his family; he was a great person.

My Sincerest Condolences to Johns Family and Friends in this time of Sorrow.
May God watch over You and give you Strength to Heal.
May John Rest in Peace.

I have known John for 30 years and he has always been a man of integrity, kindness and character. This is a huge loss for his family and all those that knew. My condolences to the entire Chiakulas family.

When John was about ten or twelve years old I dressed him as a Christmas tree for his Halloween costume with branches I took from my own tree complete with lights and ornaments. He was absolutely adorable. John's father, Jim, and I were good friends. Jim was like a brother to me. Kids grow up and life took us down our own path. But Jim would give me reports from time to time on how Gregory, Charles, John and their brother Bobby and sister Stacey were doing. It's over ten years since we lost Jim and now we've tragically lost Jim's youngest son, John. I cannot tell you how deeply saddened I am. I have memories that I will cherish all my days. My deepest condolences to the family.

I had the pleasure of working with John at a variety of locations during our time with Lettuce Entertain You. He was always welcoming and kind, and never stopped teaching those around him. My condolences to his family.

Had some great times at Lettuce with John, always a positive attitude and remember him with much affection, have often thought of him, condolences to his family

RIP John, you are gone from my sight but not from my Heart. We never would of felt ready to say good-bye to someone so Special as John, but this timing feels especially tough. Wishing John's family comfort and strength for the days and weeks ahead. God Bless and we will be praying for all of you. Mike Pantazis

So sorry to hear of Johns passing. My brother Mike and I grew up together on Morse Ave. with all the boys. May his memory remain eternal

Sending positive thoughts and prayers to all of John's family and friends. He will be sorely missed.

John was a long time friend, he will be missed by all. RIP

I have known Johnny for over 20 years while he has been a chef at Lettuce Entertain You. When anyone walked into the Corporate kitchen, he was always so happy to see us, and often would cook for us, especially his chili. He will be missed.
