Mr. Bonini missed his wife and her cooking more than anything, and when he talked about her his eyes would fill with tears. He would always ask me what my wife cooked for me of which I would have to decribe the meal like food critic to satisfy him. My wife, father and I will miss him and his stories. It gives me comfort to know he and Jean are back in each others arms in Chicago the city he loved, and his true home. My depest sympathies to John Jr and the rest of John's family.
