Not sure what to say?

Our deepest sympathies are with Theresa and the Demaree family at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Theresa during this very difficult time.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

To Mr. Demaree's family, may God bless you and give you peace during this time of great sadness and loss. I worked with Mr. Demaree in the HR Dept. at ODPS and as my supervisor, there were times when we didn't always agree with each other but one thing is for sure, we both respected each other. I always appreciated his concern for my well being during many of my hospital stays and wished him only the best of life at his retirement from HR. I'll kept fond memories of Mr. Demaree the rest of...

I have very fond memories of "Mr. D", but most importantly introducing him to his future fiance, Theresa. John had a distiguished career and was very driven. He always touched me as a very kind, sensitive and caring man. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.

Chris and I extend our deepest sympathies to John's family. He was an honorable and decent man who I consider a very good friend. As Union President at the BMV while JD was the HR Director I will never forget our many chats, his guidance and most of all his friendship. The two quotes I remember most from JD was "Not only do we have to do it right, We have to look right doing it" and "Loyalty up deserves loyalty down"! I will miss you my friend. The world just lost a really good guy!! Rest in...

Joe and Linda,
We are so sorry for your loss, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

I will miss my cousin, Johnny, so much. He was a kind, giving, generous individual. I will never forget how he helped my mother and me after my dad passed away and especially during Mom's terminal illness. After her death, I did not feel so alone because I knew Johnny was there for me. My deepest sympathies to Theresa, Joe, Jerilynn, Jessica, Jeff, John Todd and the grandchildren on the loss of this wonderful man.

What fond memories I have of John from many, many years ago. So very sorry to hear of his passing. Our sincerest sympathies. Fredda (Walton) and Bob Kischko Family

Words cannot express the sorrow that I feel of the loss of a great friend and mentor. I was fortunate to work in Human Resources for the Ohio Department of Public Safety under Mr. Demaree for over twelve years and he was my direct supervisor for ten of those years. In those twelve years, Mr. Demaree taught me how to treat people with kindness and respect; about integrity and hard-work; and the importance of loyalty. Mr. Demaree always told me “Rich, loyalty down deserves loyalty up.” After we...
