John Lavin Obituary

My heartfelt condolences to the Lavin family. Ah, the memories! Jack was a true newspaperman in the days when Chicago was a genuinely competitive newspaper town, and it was personally fulfilling and a lot of fun to be just that -- a true newspaperman.

Mark, Ann and family

So sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Our deepest sympathies.

So long pal:

We worked together at City News and "played" together at various reporters associations. Will miss you. My condolences to your family.

Mark, Ann, Dan, Bridget & Casey,

On my way back from lunch today I heard the song by MercyMe that sings: "I can only imagine what it will be like, when I walk by Your side..." Your Dad (Bapa) now knows the glory that awaits all of us in heaven. Wish I could be there...but my prayers and thoughts are with you.

Love,

Julie
