John GRUENENFELDER Obituary

GRUENENFELDER, John Paul On Sunday, December 4, 2016 the Universe reclaimed one of its own leaving behind a vast black hole. John was a well-educated man, humble and witty, respected, and above all, a kind human that graced us with his brief presence. A son, big brother, uncle, and a grandson. An astronomer, computer guru, protagonist, an antagonist, and a thought-provoker. His love and kindness touched everyone he encountered and through a long and hard fought battle with his own vessel he never alienated another living being. Those he has left behind can only assume that he had a plan unknown to us as he marched to the beat of his own drum, on his own time, and was governed only by what he believed. He will be missed in a way that not even lightyears could measure. A Celebration of Life will be planned for January… Because nobody ever rushed John. Arrangements by BRING'S BROADWAY CHAPEL.

Eventho I never had the privilege to know John Paul, his family tells me what a wonderful human being he is. I say "is" because being one with the universe is eternal, a constant. He is in my thoughts and prayers.

John was a great hugger and had a kind soul. I will cherish memories of hanging out with him and miss hearing him and Randy discuss how the latest Star Trek movies just don't hold up to the originals.
