John R. DeSantis

It's the 150th British Open this week. So a toast "Johnny I hardly knew yee."

I think of Johnny every time I step on a golf course and the many things he taught me.

I still think of him often.

I can speak for my entire family and especially my father when I say John was a wonderful man! He always had something nice to say and a hello to give. He was held in such high regard by so many and I'm lucky enough to have spent some of my childhood summers around the man!!
See you on the other side John!! Rip

My thoughts go to Sue and the entire DeSantis family. John never gave me a golf lesson (horses were my chosen passion), but he was a wonderful friend to our whole family both on and off the course. While my parents are gone, the surviving Seagrens still have precious memories of John playing football in our yard, making wine in our house, sharing spaghetti that Sue and he prepared and infusing his trademark laughter through it all. Somehow he left everyone feeling better about life in...

I remember a very kind person who was a friend to all NIppersinkers. He taught me how to play golf and made us feel that he cared and that we were welcome at the pro shop and on the golf course.

Dear Sue and Family,
I only have fond memories of you and Johnny. He was absolutely the very best. He taught me many lessons about both golf and life which I carry with me to this day.

Joan and I send our heartfelt sympathies and prayers to you.

Johnny was the golf teaching Whisperer. He had a real gift - lucky me to have been a student of his for so many years. I hold fond, fun and endless memories of Johnny. My condolences to the family.

Johnny was a fabulous friend and golf mentor to our family for over 20 years in Nippersink and Palm Springs. He gave us so many terrific memories. Our heartfelt condolences.
