Mr. B was a favorite patron of ours at the Berwyn Public Library for many years - always had a smile and a story to share. We have missed him greatly since he became ill, and remember him with gratitude and fondness.

Andre was a good friend to my father John as they shared the final years at Saratoga Grove Supported Care. He was a man of many interests and great cheer - he will be sorely missed by my Dad, and by the rest of our family.

Mr. Bossieux was my absolute favorite teacher at Morton West..I remember so much of what he taught me all those years ago. I always wondered where he was and how he was doing. Interesting that I live in Downers Grove now for the past 37 years. I would have loved to see that man again. I am sure he made an indelible impression on so many of his students. He was a brilliant man of great refinement and a one-of-a-kind teacher.
