The shooting in Aurora, Colorado shook this great nation, and the
quake is being felt everywhere, including Northern Illinois. This tragic
event took the life of Twenty-seven year old John Thomas Larimer this
past Friday. John was a life long resident of Crystal Lake, Illinois
who had left only to serve his country in the Navy as his family has for
four generations. John was a Petty Officer 3rd Class and worked as a
cryptologic technician at Buckley Airforce Base in Aurora. John went to
the University of Wisconsin Whitewater for college after graduating from
Crystal Lake South High School in 2003. John will be remembered by
Northern Illinois as a hero and a true American. John’s girlfriend
Julia Vojtsek from Algonquin, Illinois was with John during the shooting
and has released a statement saying that he shielded her when the
shooting broke out, and that she feels strongly that his last act of
kindness saved her life.
The visitation will be Tomorrow July 27, 2012 from 3-9 p.m. at
Davenport Family Funeral Home on 419 E. Terra Cotta Avenue in Crystal
Lake, IL.
