Dear Pat and family,
Char and I were so sorry to hear of John's death, he was such a caring and generous person. The life of the party and always had great stories to tell. John and I were best friends our entire lives. Whenever I couldn't recall something even as far back as grammar school, I could call him and he would remember. Our monthly luncheons will never be the same without John's presence. He will never be forgotten and will always be in our prayers.

I knew John; worked for him in his Schaumburg office back in 1979-1981. Great family man and attorney; so many people owed him, didn't pay him for years -- he was very generous. ALMOST to a fault!!
