Condolences to the family (with special regards to Megan, who babysat our daughter Alison many years ago). John was a delightful person, a man of integrity, and a wonderful teacher and colleague at SLP High School. You are in our thoughts.

Mr. Little is a teacher I'll always remember. What a nice, nice man. Rest peacefully, Mr. Little.

I was in Mr. Little's American History class at St. Louis Park High School - 10th grade in 1970. Truly, he was one of my most memorable and favorite teachers and I admired him and his style of teaching greatly. All my fellow students in that class adored him and I know they will be sad to hear of his passing. My deepest sympathy to his family on their loss of such a special and sweet man.

I was privileged to be in Mr. Little's seventh grade class in 1950/51 at what was then St. Louis Park Junior High School. I believe it was his first year as a teacher.

I remeber him as someone who could relate to his students, someone who could laugh with us. He was the first teacher who didn't treat us like the children we were.

He taught us well, with patience and good nature. I shall not forget him.

My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
