We are So sorry to hear of John's passing. Our sincere condolences to Joann and family
Andy, sorry to hear about your dad. I remembered playing tennis against him and he beat me pretty good, (and I thought I was good!). He was a fun and jovial person to be around. Heather and I send our condolences to you and your extended family.
To Jack's Family: Jack and I have journeyed through life for some 50 years as very close friends. We met on the tennis court and played countless matches. We rode our bikes thousands of miles on the trails of Illinois, Wisconsin, Arizona and Florida. We learned to play the Native American Indian flute together. We even took a few family vacations together. We will very much miss his good-humored company.
