We’re planning a Celebration of Life on Tuesday, March 8th, from 4pm to 8pm at the Forest Hills Lodge (located beside the Rockford Speedway) at 1601 West Lane Road, Loves Park, IL 61111. Plans are to gather friends and family in order to share fond memories in each other’s company, and perhaps even enjoy a laugh together. We sincerely hope you’ll join us once more to honor our dearest John and we request that you wear your favorite sports jersey (or similar comfortable/casual attire) for our gathering of friends. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the family either online or in-person at the Celebration of Life.
