John has been a living saint. He was a compassionate person for the poor and the underprivileged in India. He supported my orphanage and school for many years. God bless him. May his soul Rest In Peace. Very grateful to him.

Jack, I only knew your dad for a short time, but from his stories of the great printers in this country I knew he had ink running with his blood. I will miss him. He was a great man. My prayers and condolences to you and your family.

Betty and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Jack from the days of the car lot at Cicero and Harrison. He was always a delight and always treated me as one of the family. Many times his Mom and family treated me to one of her sensational meals when I came home with Frank. Good Luck and God Bless. John (Jack) Heafey
