John Trick Obituary

To the Trick family!

My mother saw the news in the paper. I did not know John Trick that well, but he was the best man in my parents wedding (John and Florence Freudenberg) back in January, 1950.

They kept in touch for awhile and then I think they lost touch for awhile. But in January, 2000, John Trick made the trip to Crete, Illinois to be with my parents at their 50th Wedding Anniversary party. It was a very snowy and cold winter day, and I know that "Jack and Flo" were grateful that he was there to share in the celebration!

We lost my father about five years ago. Now the groom and best man are reunited in heaven. We are thinking of you and we will pray for you.

With sympathy and love,
Donna Freudenberg Katz

Dear John,
I am very sorry to hear about your Father. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

One Very Proud Man!
I became acquainted with John's family when they all were very young! He and Roseanne were very very proud of them. In particular I can still see John, holding the hald Of John Jr., walking across Foster avenue to my pizza shop to get a beef sandwich!
Not only were the all customers, but best of all we became friends. I am also very proud of the "Trick's" growing up also to be proud to be a "TRICK".

My heart opens up to my friends.
respectfully,
Mike Manno

To the Family of John Trick Sr.

Arlene and I are deeply saddend about the passing of such a wonderfull man as John Sr.was. As a neighbor to Arlene
and her family and in later life a friend to me. John was the type of man
who was there to always help. He would alway say to me " Don't go rent that tool or by that lock, I have here somewhere" "or If the pears fall in your yard, there yours". Your Mom and Dad were a pair made in heaven.
when I was at the building we would alway shoot the breeze, if the bird would let us.

Look out LORD John Sr. is comming, and he has just what you need to fix it right.

Dear Family of John Trick Sr.,

Words are not enough to express all my thoughts and feelings at this time. John was such a wonderful, kind, caring and gentle man and he will be missed so very much. He and my Mom (Brookie) had a special and dear friendship over the last few years. He treated her with the upmost respect, was her best friend, was caring and always there to help and support her in any way he could. He told me more than once that she was there for him too and how grateful he was that she was there. He said "I've been blessed to have two wonderful women in my life."

My Mom always bragged on how handy he was at fixing almost anything that was broken from watches to a leaky faucet. If something wasn't working just right, he would come over to my Moms' place and start fixing it, even before saying a thing about it. He was the kind of friend that was there for her, even if only to hear how her day was going and share with her his day. The kind of friend we all long to have... and I am so thankful that the LORD made their paths cross.

I feel honored and so blessed that I got to know him too and look forward to that Day in heaven when I'll get to see him again and get to know him even better.

My deepest sympathy & prayers go out to all of you who are his family and loved ones. May the comfort and peace that only comes from God be with all of you.

God Bless and Keep You,

Wanda Giron
(Brookie's daughter)
