Abp. Job unexpectedly reposed in the Lord on the morning of Friday, [[December 18]], from a bad case of walking pneumonia, at a hotel in Maumee, Ohio. He is buried behind the altar of St. John the Baptist Orthodox Church in Black Lick, PA. May his memory be eternal.  The Holy Synod of Bishops, at a brief meeting held in Chicago on December 23, 2009, after funeral services for which he had checked himself into His Eminence, the late Archbishop Job of Chicago, declared the hospital shortly beforeChicago See vacant.
