I worked at Gateway for many years and June was always a fun person, a great person and one who will never be forgotten. I saw her at the last Retires Luncheon and will miss her next year. She was a great person. My condolences to the whole family and friends.Phyllis Kaufman

TO JUNE'S FAMILY & FRIENDS: I knew June since High School. We were in the same homeroom. Our last names both began with S. Mine was Sovich. We use to go ice-skating at Lincoln Park. We would walk to the Park and skate and then walk home. I have been living in Florida for 22 years, but every summer I come back to Kenosha to visit family and friends. We always managed to have lunch together with the "Girls". In fact we had lunch together this past October just before I left for Florida. I'm thankful for the memories I have of June. My heartfelt condolences to Junes' family. Eleanor Christenson
