Dear Elaine...Oh how sorry we were to hear about John's passing. We remember the many great times we shared with John and you when you lived in Chicago.
John was truly a one of a kind person and was the life of every party that we shared in the 60's. We know that he
is in heaven above sharing his great sense of humor with everyone.
Please accept our extreme condolence and know that our prayers are that our Lord God gives you strength in this extremely difficult time.
With Love,
Anthony and Betty Ladas,Palos Park,Illinois
