I think his profession was a calling for him. He was so kind and compassionate. He was so helpful when my parents passed. He was a class act. May he Rest in Peace.

My deepest sympathy to all the Proko family. You couldn't have had a better head of your family. He always showed kindness to everyone who he met. He was such a valued person and will be so missed. May you find peace in the days ahead knowing he left such a positive impact on his family and the community.

Mr. Proko was a true gentleman. A very holy humble man. He was a personal family friend for decades. As a fellow Knight of Columbus, John was an exemplary Christian. The community has lost a wonderful individual. Michael A. De Fazio

Prayers to the entire Proko family. John has been a fixture in my life through my dad, Ralph, and Kiwanis. John has also presided over many of my families funeral services. He was a wonderful man with such a caring soul. He will be missed. John, I hope you and all your buddies from Kiwanis are back together again teeing off.

We are saddened to hear that John Proko has passed away. I've known him as a young girl as he took care of all my Andrea family members including my Grandma. Now we were neighbors for 8 years. It was always so nice to see him walking on those nice summer days and we would visit with each other. Our prayers are with the entire Proko family.
