John D. Frerichs

Dear Natalie, Reese, Quintin, and Grace:
I didn't know your husband and Dad well but I've said "Hi" many times over the last 4-5 years. I have 2 boys and a girl like you and my son, Hunter, is in Reese's grade at SL. I've seen your family at the pool, playing outside, planting in winter (!!), and just walking in the neighborhood. I'm the curly red-head who jogs by your house every day and chases my kids at the pool. I've notice that John hasn't been around for several mos and wondered...

My heart and prayers go out to you. I was a former student.

Dear Natalie and family,
My very deepest thoughts and prayers are with you. I feel so sad and sorry for your loss. John was such a caring,devoted and loving father and husband. It is so hard for me to comprehend the loss of such a special person. There is not enough words to express to you how sorry I am. Please know that your extended family is here for you if and whenever you need us.
Much Love,
Jodie Paul

John was a wonderful father and husband. From the e-mails listed he was a memorable teacher. John was a good man, the kind of man that gave you a sense of comfort and security. I wish I had spent more time with Natalie and John. I love them both so very much; my prayers are with his family. Natalie I am so very sorry for your loss.

Although it's been a long time since I last saw John I will always think of him as a kind and caring person. He was a very devoted father and husband. He will be deeply missed.

Dear Family,

The Galambos, Hale and Thorne families on Bluedale Street pray for all God's blessings on the entire family. We are here for you!

In love

It's been six years since I was in his class but he'll always be my favorite foreign language teacher. Does anyone else remember all the goofy games he used to make us play? And that no matter how much we hated conjugating those stupid verbs, he always kept you from ripping out your hair? If it wasn't for his class, I wouldn't have even met my best friend. Wir lieben sie, Herr. R.I.P.
