Dear Shunick Family,
I was saddened to hear about John's passing. I am sure he is resting comfortably with a game on and a cold one close by. He truly was a good guy, I would've gladly traded one or two of my older brothers to have John in the family! Family, gotta love em! I am sorry that I found out too late to attend the service but my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Sincerely,
Anne (Boscamp) Redmerski

Dear Shunick Family,
I am so sorry to hear about John's passing. I was out in Arizona a few years ago with my parents, John and Rob and we were able to spend some time with John and watch the Soxs versus the Cubs at the Sox's training camp. Unfortunately I learned about the service late so I was unable to attend. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
