I knew John (or as we knew if as JACK)through the Police Exploring Program. Jack was in the Western Springs Post and I was in Riverside Post. Jack was a very good guy to know and had a very funny sense of humor. Jack you will be missed...May you be your Family & Friends Guardian Angel. My deepest sympathies to ALL of Jack's: FAMILY, FRIENDS, CO-WORKERS & ALL OTHERS WHO MAY HAVE KNOW HIM.



God Bless...

Jack was one of the best friends I've ever had, as well as, one of the funiest people you could ever meet. I couldn't have made my way through McClure Jr. High without his friendship. Though our lives took different directions, I never lost my love for Jack's sense of humor. He could always make me laugh to the point of tears and no matter where we were in life we could always relate to each other. People like Jack are hard to find and will never be forgotten. I send my deepest regrets to the Volini family and wish them enduring strength and love.

Our family sends its deepest condolences. We always enjoyed having Jack with us. I'll always remember the trip to the Zoo where he road the cement lions, the trip to the Little Red School House and the Halloween at the Haunted House. Thanks for the hospitality you provided for Chad whenever he spent the night. As many as you have in your family, it seemed you always had room for one more!

Sincerely,



Francie Gits, the Mom
