John Roos Kates

John was my Stanford advisor in the early 1980s and had a profound influence on me. He was a great listener and always had terrific ideas with a common sense approach. He was pobably the best person I met there.

Sending love to you all and remembering the kind, welcoming and generous spirit of John.

John was my first friend in Los Angeles. He knew the value of friendship. I appreciated him so much.

Always in our hearts.❤

I do remember John as a kind and thoughtful colleague in the Office of Development at Stanford, and now think of him often when I attend services at Nativity Church.

I am often reminded of John when I attend Mass at Nativity Church, and see signs of his works of charity. My respect for him contines

I knew John when Tom Sikes and I had first come to Santa Monica in 1964. John was especially kind to me because he knew how frightening the big city of Los Angeles was to me. He was Tom's first friend in California. I know Tom admired John and his family very much. John was a good man.

John and I were room mates in Encina hall at Stanford in 1954-1955. I just today learned of his passing. He was a dear kind man and my dear friend. I will miss him more than I can say. Ron Jones Yuma Az.

Bon Chance John. I worked my way through college at Sunset News during the late fifties and early 60's. I worked closely with John, his father and grandfather. The family was extremely kind to me and I retain a letter of reference from his Father, Art, when I left the company.

John was an extremely patient and kind man who I still remember frequently. By chance, I found this site in a nostalgic moment.

My condolences to his family. John made a lasting impression on me and...
