John Kavanaugh III

Erick and I have enjoyed stopping in at the Esquire Club and chatting with John over the past many years. We're pretty sure he referred to us as the "walkers" since we regularly stopped in for a drink, the bathroom, and a joke on the way downtown. John made the best Reuben sandwich that Erick has ever had and his whipped cheese spread is absolutely addictive. John always greeted us with a smile and a never-ending supply of corny jokes - he was the consummate host who took great care of his customers and friends. It was obvious that he cared deeply for our community - his passing leaves a huge hole in our hearts and he'll be dearly missed. Our deepest condolences to John's family, Erick & Ann Schoenberger

One if the most welcoming faces on Sherman Ave. Thanks John for always caring and giving. Rest in peace sweet soul.

John was truly one of the kindest People you could meet! He will be Missed by Many! My heart goes out to his family during this very difficult time ❤️

He was such a cool fellow, he was the only boss that took me out to drink, albeit was the tip/top in the early eighties, but that was cool . God bless you John!!!!

He was the only boss who ever took me out for drinks . Albeit was the tip top back in the eighties. I felt good about that!, god bless you ! My friend!
