The best grandfather a grandchild could ever want. I love you so much grandpa❤️ I will always hold our memories in a very special place in my heart. Feeding geese, watching rugrats everyday, the big breakfasts you and Nana would make. Part of me doesn’t want to believe you’re gone but I know you’re watching down on all your grandkids , kids, and Nana everyday with a smile. You’re love was enough to last us all a lifetime❤️ I will forever be proud to be the granddaughter of one of the most respected, kind-hearted, hard working man that anybody has ever been blessed to meet. I love you grandpa❤️

Wow...when I initially viewed this notice, the picture of Grandpa John really gave me pause to stop and think. Grandpa John truly lived his life by example. His work ethic and he and Claudine's loving presence at their grandchildren's sporting events will forever be etched in our minds as well as his grandkids. My friend, you are truly missed!! This family will slowly move on and forever treasure our memories of you! God Bless

John and Steve worked side by side for 43 years. His loss is beyond words. He was devoted to his work and helped create the Mauritzon of today. He was Steve’s buddy for all those years. He would sit by Steve’s desk early every morning and they would discuss sports, politics and life in general. He cared deeply for his family and friends. His life was a blessing to us all.

My deep and sincere sympathy to Claudine and the rest of the family for the grief of losing someone like John. I've known John for many years through my association with Mauritzon. He was very conscientious and always wanted to do the best for the projects/work he would supervise for me. Through his vast experience, he knew everything doesn't always go as smoothly as one would expect; but, by his dedication and demeanor he always made it come out for the best. There are very few people in this world that can not be replaced. John Sokolowski is one of those few. I, along with all who read this post, will miss him tremendously. Michael D.

John was a great friend and business associate. His lively sense of humor and easy nature endured him to many and I will always feel a loss and empty place in his absence. Go with God my Friend.
