John was a gentleman's gentleman. I owe my Doctorate Degree(1969)to his interest and kind and wise counsel. As evidenced by the comments that preceded mine he was the GREATEST.

About 50 years ago, Dr. Wozniak took time to meet with me when I was struggling as a student at Loyola. His kindness, encouragement and wise counsel set me on a new and successful path. He was the finest of educators and humanitarians.

Dr. Wozniak was a great teacher, not just of subject matter, but of how to model graceful aging. It was a privilege to know him. My condolences to his family. He left a great legacy but will be missed.

Dr. Wozniak was one of our families favorite people. He was so good to my dad, Stanley Milewski; both practicing their Polish and eating good Polish food!. He will be missed.

My condolences and gratitude:
I owe Dean Wozniak so much, having come from Germany and enjoying his warm welcome and guidance to get my PhD at Loyola Chicago.
May God reward him richly for all what he had done for his students!
