I was saddened to hear of John’s passing. Although I haven’t seen him many years since our days at high school, I remember him fondly.
I pass along my condolences to his entire family.

Sorry to hear of the passing of “Brother-in-law”. All of us had many good times and laughs together. He was a real sweetheart, and will be missed
John, my condolences on the loss of your Dad.
Will never forget the Friday/Saturday nites playing pinochle. Have precious memories of when I was grammar school and came to Babci’s house and we played monopoly. At the time I thought the drawer in the table was just great for putting the “money” in their special sections. And then you were the best man at our wedding. We love you and will miss you more than you know.
John and Jeanine, Our deepest condolences for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Your Husand/Dad fixed my clock for me…it is a very special clock to me and is so much more now. I feel blessed and honored to have known him and am grateful that he loved and raised my beautiful, dear friend and her wonderful siblings. Mr. & Mrs. Suchecki, thank you for your love and commitment to each other and your family.
God bless ~

I am so very sorry to hear about your dad’s passing. I pray that you are blessed with God’s many graces as you face the difficult days ahead. You know I speak from my own unfortuate experience of having lost my dad when I say this: while your hearts are heavy and while the days ahead are sure to be challenging, the comfort of family and friends and, in time, the wonderful memories of your Dad, will bring you strength and peace. Time will not heal this wound my friend, but I promise you – time does indeed make you stronger so that you can more easily face each day without your Dad. My thoughts and many prayers are with you.
MARYJANE WORDS ARE NOT ENOUGH TO EXPRESS THE LOSS WE ARE FEELING JOHN WAS A GOOD MAN AND WILL BE DEARLY MISSED BY US.
Our very deepest sympathies to your entire family. We wish you strength during your time of loss.
Warm Regards,
