John Kurzeja Obituary

I have so many fond memories of my favorite uncle Clutch. The good Lord certainly got a wonderful man in heaven

Dear Joanie, Carol and Tara,
I have such great memories of many celebrations with your family. Great anticipation was felt while looking forward to spending time together. Clutch was always there with his great big grin and boisterous laugh. He had such a gentle ease at the kids table telling jokes as he did at the adults playing a serious game of pinochle.
He will be greatly missed. I can't begin to feel your grief but hope knowing he is at rest will bring you peace and strength. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Donna, Tom and family

Dear Joannie, Carol and Tara,
We were deeply saddened by the news of Clutch's passing. I've known him since I had the privilege of holding the ring for your marriage, chose him as my Confirmation father, rooted with him for the Bears, observed his solid work ethic both at home and at his job and most importantly how to handle the tough moments in life with both humor and strength.
Clutch had a generous heart, natural humor, unbiased compassion and a knack for adding light to any room he entered with his easy laugh and spoken honesty. We'll miss him and never forget him. With all our love, thoughts and prayers, Mark and Sue

To the Kurzeja family; My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Dear Joannee, Carol & Tara,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. We all know the love you have for him goes beyond words but hope you have some comfort in knowing how his life has impacted so many others as well. We are honored to have known him and have so many great memories of a wonderful man. Thank you for sharing him with us.

All Our Love, Gerry, Maureen, Ryan, Chris & Matthew Dunne

Aunt Joannee, Carol, Eddie, and Tara:
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I wish I could be there to celebrate his life. He was always making others laugh and smile with his wonderful sense of humor. My girls only met him a few times over the years and the first thing they always say is that he is the funny one. We love you and God Bless you at this rough time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love Gail and Jeremy.

Dear Joan and Carol,

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Clutch's boundless energy and his optimism especially concerning the Cubs stats. It will be difficult to go on without someone who was such a large part of your lives but know that he is at peace now.

Love to you both,
