Sharon,
I'm sorry for your loss. I had so many great times with Johnny in the 60's & early 70's. He was a laborer just entering the police force. You may not remember me, but I will never forget your flower car and when you and Johnny met (the old Milwaukee Rd.).
Sincerely,
Jim The Roofer

Sharon and Family, we had some great times together. Remember fishing in your swimming pool with the kids for bullheads? My kids still laugh at that one.

Sharon and Family,
I really don't know if you will remember me but some of my best childhood memories are with your family and your dad at the race track. John was one of my fathers bestfriends. Hanging at Ace Automotive in the summer and growing up there with all the C.P.D. there was a wonderful time for me as a kid. John was just like a great big bear he was a wonderful person. I loved him as a kid and will miss him dearly, even though it has been along time. Sharon my dad (Herb) always thought the world of your whole family. If there is anything that you ever need please call. 847-493-9708. I know how much John will be missed. I really don't know how else to express my saddness at this loss other than to tell you everyone loved John and he will be truly missed.
