Remembering John today and missing him. He is always missed at family gatherings. Sending my love, Susan

We were sorry to hear about John. He was a busy guy with so many interests. Always had his camera ready for that great photo. We will miss seeing him driving around in his vintage car, and our many visits at the local Fred Meyers. Our sympathy to his family.

John and I had known each other from the 6th grade. I was the best man at his wedding as he was the best man at my wedding. We were Ford car nuts from the start and he will surely be missed by all of us. John sent funny e-mails almost daily and I have all ways wondered where he had the time to find all of them. I miss John and was blessed to have him as a friend.

I will miss John's funny letters and the dear pictures that he sent me in the mail. John always had a warm and friendly way to brighten my visits to Atkinson UUA.

Sending lots of love to Sherien and the family. Sorry to hear of John´s passing, such a sweet soul.

My sister, Sherien, married John Jaeger on July 17, 1971. He was warmly welcomed into our family and loved acknowledging family milestones. We had many family parties around birthdays and holidays, both with the Jaegers and with Sherien's family. He and Sherien graciously hosted family gatherings at both their Portland area home and at their beach home in Rockaway. We will remember John and all the special times together.

I will miss this good friend. Over the last several years John and I had many phone conversations. He would like to talk about his car club activities and other subjects.

John was a regular concert attendee and supporter of the Oregon Sinfonietta orchestra. He even organized a Vintage Ford cruise-in for one of our concerts. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to express our sorrow at his passing and appreciation of his singular presence over the years. He will be missed.

John wrote many many articles for the Early Ford V8 Times magazine. John will certainly be missed at the local CRRG meetings and events. His regular emails and mailed articles will also be missed.
