John A. Mogen

John and I lived on the same floor of Frontier Hall at the University of Minnesota for three years. We ate most dinners together, spent lots of Friday nights plaything Whist, and spent many hours discussing the life of undergrads in demanding programs. John was quiet, a little shy, and unfailingly polite. He was a good friend. The picture is from Easter Sunday 1963. We dressed up to go to Easter services. We were the only people having breakfast in the dining hall that morning. ...

Our condolences to Tina and her sons. We are sorry for your loss.

Tina. I was so sorry to learn about John. I so enjoyed working with him at the Akron Symphony! He was a wonderful man. Thinking of you during these difficult times.

John was the consummate professional - polite and courteous; interesting and interested; conversational and inclusive; caring and concerned; and, of course, impeccably dressed. For those who knew him, we are better people. To Tina and family, our condolences.

Dear Mrs. Mogen-
I’m so sorry to learn of the passing of your beloved husband. I remember meeting him once many years ago when he visited your classroom. May his memory be for a blessing and may that memory comfort you and all his loved ones.

Offering our deepest condolences during this time.
