John Healy Obituary
John Patrick Healy, age 73 of Chicago, passed away peacefully on July 9, 2020. He is now joyfully reunited with his beloved wife, Sheryl, and his parents Edward and Mae. Patrick was the loving father of Margaret (Tim Powers), Michael (Jennifer), and Brian, and grandfather to Eve and Clyde. He was dear brother to Mary Ann (the late R.J.) Sullivan, and fond uncle of many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews. Patrick will be remembered by all who knew him for his intelligence, kindness, and keen sense of humor. Memorial will be held at a later date. Private Interment will take place in Coloma, Michigan. Patrick was a prominent attorney known for landmark victories in plaintiff action against Continental Bank, and as the first litigator in County history to successfully utilize a reconstructed fire engine facsimile exhibit in a courtroom maneuver. A long time President of the Notre Dame Club of Chicago, Patrick was also a founding member of the Diogenes Society. He will be remembered fondly through memory, kinship, diction and grammar. A gout survivor (until recently), Patrick was the beneficiary of exceedingly gracious care and support in his final years from various friends, loved ones, and most of all his daughter Margaret.

From Fenwick to the basement of the computer center at ND to the CAA, Butterfield and Kevils, we spent hours I'll never forget. Rest in peace my good friend.

I am saddened and offer my sympathy on the passing of Pat. He and I were classmates at Notre Dame having gotten to know each other sophomore year and stayed friends well after graduation. I fondly remember the times at the dunes on Lake Michigan and the happy moments at football games and reunions at Notre Dame with him. I had the honor of being in his wedding and he came to my wedding in Montreal. Although we had less contact as the years passed, I will always remember him for his wit, quick mind and loyal friendship. May he rest in peace.
