Thanks Jill and the family of John Honegger--such a wonderful and well-liked person--I saw that when he took me to the food bank.  I spent several days with him this last summer--I will miss him and we will all be together again in Heaven.  Love and Blessings, Shirley Soucek

John was a dear friend who played bridge with our East Peoria and Morton groups. He always brought a smile to our faces when he showed up at Freedom Hall with some pastry or treat. He was always a hoot! He told me over and over that if he couldn't play with me, then he'd like to beat me. He loved his friends and family. He will be greatly missed.

I am saddened to learn of John's passing.  I had the privilege of sharing a fishing trip to Canada in summer of 2015.  John was a very kind person and a joy to get to know.  Love to his family.

I met John at Apostolic Christian Skylines when my Mom was a resident there. He was such a devoted husband to his wife Wilma and you could tell he loved her dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. He will be deeply missed.Diane Bussman

I am so sadden.  John was my pal and traveling friend and BRIDGE PARTNER.  Thanks for all of you for the accommodations you made when I traveled there.  I was with him a lot of days this past summer playing bridge--such a great person and loved by all.  We will all be together in Heaven again.  God bless you all.  Shirley Blessman Soucek in Tucson, Arizona

John was a dear friend!  I'll miss him.  He was so kind and patient with Wilma.  We shared concerns when we spent time with our loved ones in Salem.  John shared family stories which were so interesting.  (My uncle was married to John's sister Leona.)  

May God comfort each of you children--and be especially near to Wilma.  She will sense that he is gone, but she will need to be reassured that John loved her dearly and has gone ahead and will be waiting for her.

To John's children:  So sorry to hear of your father's sudden death.  We have enjoyed visiting with him during the last several years at Skylines.  He was a wonderful example of Christian love.  We will miss him.   May God comfort you. (I really wanted to get to the funeral to meet all of you; we have mutual cousins - the Ben Tanner family.)  Lyle and Betty Stahl, Princeville

John was a caring gentleman.  He will be greatly missed.

John was a great friend. I learned about the entire family during our frequent trips to Bloomington to play bridge.

He will be greatly missed by all of his bridge friends.

John was a treasured colleague of mine at the Fruehauf E. Peoria branch.  Not only did he inspire me as a young salesman but he taught me life lessons which have guided me today.  What a wonderful person who will be missed dearly.  My condolences to all the family and especially Wilma.

God Bless,

Mike and Diane
We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. May it give you comfort to know God has someone special by His side.

Great memories I have of John. He was always tending to Wilma, to keep her comfortable.  Thank you John for setting the standards. You were certainly an example to follow of how to treat others.  You will be greatly missed.
My sympathy to the family.
