John Charles Kaelber

I met John at St. Mary Catholic Church. His daughter went to Sunday School with me. John and his wife used to sit in the back of the 4:30 Mass on Saturday afternoon with a group of friends that I sit with. John was one of the most caring, thoughtful, loving person I've met. He always talked to me before Mass started and wanted to know what I was up to. I will never forget the friend he was to me!!!

To Faye and Stacey, I'm very sorry about the passing of John. He was such a loving, kind, family man. I only knew him from St.Mary's Church. Family meant every thing to him. I know he is smiling down over us all. I know he will be okay. He is in good hands. Please know that I will be praying for you and your family. If you need anything, you can always call me. Love always, Amy Decker( the bald girl that sits in the very last row at 4:30 mass).

I was blessed to have taught and coached with John
at Pleasant Schools in the late 70's. He was a real
professional and a great person. My condolences go out to his beautiful family! Dave Camp, Delaware

It has been a long road Stacey! I only met your dad once, but reading these wonderful entries makes me wish he was MY high school history teacher! He touched a lot of lives and isn't that what it is all about?
I pray for you and your family. It is a terribly difficult thing to lose a parent, but it is wonderful that you have had this much time with him and he knew you as an adult and knew all of your children. what a true blessing . God bless all of you

To the Kaelber family, I am very sorry for your loss, Mary Jumper Early

Faye, Robbie, Stacey and family, I am truly sorry for your loss. John was a wonderful teacher and coach, and truly embodied what an educator should be. He did not dwell on possessions, but focused on his family and work. I had the chance to coach with him at St. Mary and was truly awed by his talent. He had the unique gift of being able to link individual fundamentals with overall strategy in order to win, however he was at his best in the way he related to the people around him. He made...

John was a great guy, always a warm smile on his face. The comments here by others say it all - much loved! Faye, you & your family are in my prayers.

Mr Kaelber is a great guy with a big heart. He was my favorite teacher in all my years of school. He always made me smile and want to succeed at all I applied my self to . I will miss his smiling face each morning. And warm good morning gesture. May Condolences go to his beautiful wife and kids and the rest of his family & friends. May he rest peacefully in heaven with a smile on his face . you will be greatly missed
