I respect and appreciate John’s commitment to public service and the many positive contributions to the Village of Algonquin and surrounding community. My condolences to his family and friends.
From the Village’s website: “It is with profound sadness that we share with you the sudden passing of Village President John C. Schmitt.
President Schmitt was first elected to serve as Village Trustee on the #Algonquin Village Board in 1993. He was appointed Village President in 2002 and was elected to his first full term in 2005; he has remained in this position ever since.
President Schmitt’s love and passion for Algonquin was undeniable. Our deepest condolences to his wife Cheryl, his children and grandchildren, his extended family, his many friends, as well as the community that he loved serving.” http://ow.ly/g6Xg50AImof
