John was a loyal member of the Class of 1949 at Princeton, admired by all who knew him. My wife Jean (now deceased) and I had many happy times with John and Peggy at Reunions and on other occasions. John and I a shared a common love for continuing education -- John in law, I in medicine. I will miss him.

Dearest Peggie, Tony and I loved him, he
was such a dear friend to us!! Sigrid

My Dearest Brother In Law John,

Her love for you eternal. Thank you for being the best husband, step father and grandfather. Not many can walk in your shoes.
Lastly, I'm very Proud to call you Brother In Law and no better man to care for my Sister and her Family.
Judge John Kern, May God hold you in the Palm of his hands. Rest In Peace, My Dearest John, I love you.

Such a gentleman, a kind and sweet man.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of such a good man. In the LONG list of things I admire, his devotion to Peggie was a beautiful thing to watch.

Peg- I was so saddened to read about John's passing. He was such a good friend and a wonderful wit. All my condolences to you and the girls.
