John was a wonderful mentor to me in the early days of my insurance career. I owe him a debt of gratitude for his impact on my insurance career. I am saddened by his passing. I had always hoped to have one more conversation with him. Kathy, Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss.

Although John and I attended Loyola at the same time, I didn't meet him until 1966 when he worked for Liberty Mutual. Thus began a 30 to 40 year business relationship. Sad too hear of his passing.

Kathy and Family,
Mary and I are so grateful and blessed to have known John and been friends with you and John for so many years. I still remember the first time we met you and John when you visited us while looking for land to build your dream home. And, we remember all the great times we have shared since then. John was always the greatest host in showing our grandchildren his train layout. Not sure but what he enjoyed it as much as the grandchildren did.
Kathy, we will keep you in our friend loop with calls, emails, visits and prayers. We love you. Dick & Mary
