John,

St. Patrick's Day was not the same because you weren't sitting at my table enjoying corned beef and cabbage as you always did in previous years.

We miss you so much and always will until we meet again.

Love Always,
Pat, Geri, Patrick, Jr. and Marky

Plese God forgive a silent tear,
a constant wish that he was here.
Others are taken, yes we know, but he
was ours and we loved him so.
He bid no one a last farewell,not even said good-bye.
He was gone before we knew it,
and only God knows why.
If all the world was ours to give,
we'd give it all and more.
to see that loving face of his,
just once more.
To those who have a Husband,Father,Grandfather or Brother.
treasure him with care.
For you never know his value ubtil you see his vacant chair.

Your Whole Family Misses You John.

Farewell To My Beloved Brother John

John, John you left us too soon,
We never dreamed we’d have to go on without you
You left us all feeling empty and sad,
Remembering all the good times we had
In our hearts forever you will always be,
never forgotten by your family.
We all loved you so much and it hurts so bad,
I wonder if we’ll ever stop feeling so sad.
We all feel lost and we don’t know what to do,
I guess we have to learn how to live without you.
Our hearts are broken, our spirits weak,
Somehow our family now feels incomplete.
I know someday we will all meet again but until
then Dear Brother may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

I Love and Miss You More Than
Words Can Say,
Nancy

I've known you since back in the sixties when Pat and Geri got together. I always thought you were such a funny guy. I still remember the chicken breast story, hilarious !! You left too soon.

We love and miss you so much. Parties and Holidays will not be the same without you. You are in our thoughts constantly and always will be.
I just can't believe that you are not with us anymore. It's just not fair. We were looking forward to your homecoming, but God had other plans.
Till we meet again. John, please know that you are loved and missed very much.

I'll miss "Little D" as we all knew him at Mary's Tavern. He was a loyal friend and could be a big pain at the same time. Budweiser, Pepsi, The Chicago White Sox and the Blackhawks were his loves as well as his 2 kids Jeana & Jeff. Sorry you had to go. Love ya

Uncle Johnny's pride and joy, Jeffrey and Jeana.
