Not sure what to say?

When my children were in the Neenah Schools I remember all the wonderful programs he made available to the schools. He left a great legacy and provided so many opportunities for the arts to the area young people. God Bless! Well done, good and faithful servant!

To The John Felker Family,
I'm so sorry to learn of John's passing. I worked as an Advertising Sales Rep. at the Post-Crescent in the early 80s and always admired John - a true gentleman.

So sorry Mary and Linda for your loss! I remember your father as being a very kind man! You and your family are in my prayers!

The Arts world lost a good man in John Felker. He was dedicated to sharing his passion for the arts with everyone, but especially children. In every interaction I had with him, he was SO energetic and excited - he just KNEW that what he was doing made a difference...and it doesn't get much better than that in life. He will be missed here on earth, but Heaven gained an angel.

John was an outstanding asset to the Neenah Joint School District. As a school administrator, I worked with John for many years as he brought cultural arts and musical events to our young learners. The lives he touched were many. His legacy will live on as he ignited a passion for the arts in so many children. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time.

Dear Waida, Mary and family of John-I am so sorry to have learned about the loss of this wonderful soul on his birthday! If you ask me, it takes a special person to be able to time their return to our Heavenly Father as perfectly as the day we entered this world. I will miss the talks John and I had both on the phone and in his home. His generosity to his community will not be forgotten. Take Care and prayers for peace and hugs go out to all of you.


Thank you for your service to our country. Semper Paratus! May your rest in peace.

Sending my deepest sympathy to Waida and her family. Rest in peace for a life well lived.
