John J. Lattner

Rest John, until you hear at dawn,
the low, clear reveille of God.

Thank you for your service to this nation.

I am so sorry for you all, Johnny was a legend in our house. My Dad was Neil Carrothers. I heard all the stories of what they did from Kindergarden through high school together. Johnny came to the house many many times, and we went to the restaurant all the time to see him. Later, I was at Maryville Academy and their was a benefit, and Johnny recognized me and came right over to me and gave me a big hug. What a wonderful man, and what a wonderful group of men, that had such respect and...

Dear Peggy and Family,I consider it one of the great privileges and lifetime honors to be able to call Johnny a friend. He was my hero from the timeI listened to Notre Dame games on the radio when I was in high school. I still vividly remember the Georgia Tech game when the student body sang Happy Birthday. So you can imagine how thrilled I was to meet him years later. We shared so many fun experiences. Trips that he arranged to attend Spring football practices as well as several lunches,...

I was so sorry to learn of John's passing. Not only was he such a great athlete but a great human being. I have many fond memories of him. I wish you and your family the best.

To the Lattner Family,
I met John as a young boy through my Uncle Bob who he eventually went into the restaurant business with. For the years to follow John and Peg became part of our family as they would come over on some Sunday's where he would throw the football around with us .
It was those days spent with John that made me the N.D. Fan that I am today. I admired John not only as a great football player and a Heisman trophy winner but more so as a great person .
My condolences...

I had the sincere and humbling pleasure to meet Mr Lattner
At a dedication for a fellow Notre Dame Alum "Mr Motts Tonelli" in November 2011. Growing up in Austin, Johnny Lattner was a household name. I found Him to be a most genuine and modest man, yet Iconic in his day. Johnny Lattner exemplified all that is Good in a Man and set an example for generations to come, on How to carry and conduct yourself with Dignity and Integrity.
I will forever cherish the picture he and I took that...

John was great in everything he did. A true humanitarian and he lived Christ's teachings each day. We pray for John, his wife and his family and friends.

On behalf of the clients, staff, and board of directors of Aging Care Connections, I would like to express my deepest condolences to the family of John Lattner. He was truly a selfless man of incredible achievements. For many years, John gave his time and shared his prestigious Heisman Trophy with our agency to assist us with our fundraising efforts. His tireless support and endorsement of our agency, as well as his support of so many other agencies was, without a doubt, one of the most...
