John Christopherson

I THINK BACK SO OFTEN TO ALL THE GOOD TIMES WE HAD TOGETHER BOTH AT JMC AND OUTSIDE OF JMC. WE NEVER ONCE HAD ANY DISAGREMENT AND AS YOU SAID -NO MEETINGS. I MISS YOU ALL THE TIME AND I KNOW SOME DAY I WILL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE AND WE WILL LAUGH AGAIN.

I miss you so much Daddy.

To the whole Christopherson family -- It has been so many years. I was reminiscing with my family yesterday and mentioned that John was my confirmation sponsor. That's when my mother mentioned that John had passed away.

To fill in a bit -- the year was 1966. John was basketball coach at Central High, Great Falls, Montana. He had become a member of our family just because he was who he was -- a friend to my father, a mentor to us kids. So, I asked him to stand for me at my...

Dear Brian, Erik and Leslie,

My thoughts are with you during this very difficult time. My deepest sympathies.

my deepest sympathies to you and your family leslie, God surely has a great angel to help him in heaven. my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

John and I worked together in Philadelphia for Jostens, years ago. I was very young and green. John was always concerned with my well being. Years after working at Jostens we would meet by chance. I was happy to experience his broad smile.

While our paths took us in different directions I will always remember his ebullient spirit. IÍm sorry to hear heÍs gone.

Dear Erik and Family
I was deeply sadden by the death of your father.He was a fun and caring man with a crazy sense of humor.My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I knew John most of my 60+ years and was aware of what a fine athlete he was. But I'll remember him most for his friendly smile and upbeat attitude every time we met. When you entered the locker room at Lilydale, you knew John was there by the reverberating song of the day that bounced off the walls, punctuated by his cheery greeting. He put a smile on a lot of faces. I'll miss him. My sympathies to all the family.....Tom King

To John's family,
Many years ago John and I played a lot of squash together at the St. Paul Athletic Club. What fun it was! We had some great matches and some great laughs. I always enjoyed his company, even though he usually won. He was never bashful, of course, and was always ready with a quip, but we had some wonderful conversations about serious aspects of life. I always admired John's ability and willingness to honestly express his opinions and feelings. It was obvious from...
