Condolence: John,
I will forever remember your warm smile, assortment of oxford shirts with never a wrinkle and your ability to be kind to each and every person you met. The Chicago Astrological Community has lost one of our heavy hitters. Your lectures left all of us wanting to here more. You were truly one of Chicago's most Brilliant Astrologers. You will be greatly missed by many people. I send out my deepest sympathy to your family. I am so sorry for your loss.

Condolence: John's Family has my heartfelt sympathy. He was one of the kindest men I have ever known. Smart as a wizard and an astrological genius, yet he was always there to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. I took my first astrology class from John and we soon became good friends. His passing is a shocking loss and he will be sorely missed by me and oh so many others. God bless and comfort you his family. His twinkling eyes will join the stars in Heaven.

Condolence: I am so sorry for your loss, as well as all of ours. John's passing was so unexpected and sorrowful. I knew John for over 30 years, through our mutual friend Darlene Enber. He was such an interesting and smart man, and a real part of our astrology community. We will all miss him greatly.
He was truly an exceptional person.

Condolence: Dear family,

A heartfelt I am sorry for your loss and my prayers are for you all. May you find comfort in this scripture knowing that Papa John is no longer weary but at peace.


2 Corinthians 5
For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing.

Condolence: My deepest condolences to his family of whom he spoke of so often. He was so proud of you all. John was a superb astrologer and teacher from whom I benefited so greatly from his wisdom. He rocked my life and work with what I learned from him.
I am heartbroken. John was always giving, gentle, kind, loving and completely sharing of his insights. I will miss him and our community will miss him deeply.
His soul is making a greater journey and I am sure he is with us all. A Ho!
