John Sweetman Obituary

Kathy, I just heard about Jacks death, I am very sorry, and wanted to let you know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Jack was so kind to me and my family when I was a student at the funeral home from 2000-2001, We have great memories of Jack, that we will cherish for ever.

Kathy, I just found out about Jack's passing yesterday and I want you to know that my thoughts are with you and you family at this very difficult time. Esther Robledo

Dear Kathy and Family,

As I sit in this Holy City on this holy weekend, I share your loss and tears. The pilgrims crowded into the old city today and the streets were alive with the sounds of dozens of languages. The Chamber notified me of the sad news by email. Ironicly, I was thinking of Jack today when I met several members of the Irish soccer team. They are playing Israel for a slot in the World's Cup championship and I thought of how much Jack would have enjoyed being here for the game. Jack was a wise man and a great leader of people. His decisions at our Chamber of Commerce about economic and political issues were important to the community and the business district. Our loss is only second to yours. May his memory be a blessing.

Mrs. Sweetman, Kathleen, Kelly, Wendy, and Charmaine,

I was so sorry to hear of your father's passing earlier this week. Although we met under not so ideal circumstances with your father and husband in the hospital, it was an honor to meet you all. Jack's smile was infectious and your love for him made caring for him and your family a privilege. May you find comfort in eachother during these next days and months and know that you are being thought of and prayed for in the SICU at NMH.

To the Sweetman Family:



I had the privilege of working with Jack during my stint in Wilmette. I found him knowledgeable, helpful and always with a story to tell. My condolences on your loss.

My Dear Kathy- It's with heavy heart that we express our sincere condolences to you and the girls on the passing of Jack. Be assured that he will be and you and your family will be remembered in our prayers. May the Good Lord best all of you and give you comfort during this most difficult time. love to all-- Bud and Edwina

Mrs. Sweetman, Wendy, Kelly ,Charmaine and to your entire family: I wanted to be able to be there for you and just give you a big hug and must of just missed you. I am so sad to hear the news and want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. It was a pleasure to get to know your family and Jack. I hope that I was able to help you all in some way throughout this time. It had been exactly once month since we lost our Dad at the hospital on the evening that Jack passed. I know you are going through a difficult time and that the next few days will be even more challenging. You are a very special family and will find comfort in each other. Please, take care of yourself. Sincerely, Laurie(SICU)
