John A. Leonowich

I first met John at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute when he was a freshman. He was one of my best math students. I am very sorry to see that he passed away. The world will be a little grayer. Life is too short. Farewell my friend.

I was saddened to hear of John's passing. I lived in the room next to John at Rensselaer in 1972-73. We graduated at were commissioned in the Air Force at the same time in 1974. John was a fun guy and very smart. He is missed.

I knew John from his time at Brooks and from IEEE and Michaelson meetings. He always brought a sense of humor, great stories, and a quick mind.

I always looked forward to seeing John at meetings of IEEE ICES Subcommittee 4 and hearing of John's most recent travels and exploits. He made everyone who knew him a friend and he will be missed by all of us.

John will be truly missed! His sense of humor, scientific acumen, memorable love of sush, and being just a good person leaves a legacy not soon forgotten.

John Leonowich was a coworker, a friend and a well regarded Scientist. He had a great since of humor and never tired of reminding me that it was he that got me into radiological training. In the spring of 2001, John asked me if I would 'just help him out for a few minutes' later that same afternoon. I told him I sure would, then asked him what it was that he needed help with? His reply, "I need you to portray a terrorist out at the Volpentest HAMMER Training and Education Center in North...

John will be missed as he touched the lives of many in one way or another. I worked with John while he was at PNNL and he had a way to get a smile or a giggle out of you. John was tremendously close with his Mother as he loved her so much and I know he missed her something terrible after she passed. I'm sure John is smiling down on us and he's at great peace now!

Some happy memories of John - truly one of a kind.

It's sad events like this that draw all of us just a little closer and, for me at least, realize how I miss so many that I've worked with along the way. I would encourage all who knew him to take a few moments and recall their favorite Leonowich story.

At least 6 or 7 years ago John had taken a medium duration assignment in Ukraine. In the course of his time there got into a relationship with a young lady and it was on the...

John Leonowich was a good colleague and solid scientist. He had a great sense of humor. I always felt I could pick up the phone or trot down to his office to get a straight answer. He is truly missed.
