John J. Monroe

John remains a tremendous power of example for his nieces and nephews and our children. He was a an honest embodiment of those Catholic values lacking in our current business and financial world.
Uncle John always had time for each of us and John's good advice (often delivered to less than open ears) was rarely off target and not easily shaken. He led you to the right answer whether youy wanted it our not. His advice was free - but on more than one occasion I found that ignoring his...

It's true that often when I saw John coming at work I would "run" the other way. If he could read this right now, he would be laughing. He oftentimes would stroll into my office and say, "I need....." and proceed to tell me what marketing materials he had to have for a meeting already going on upstairs. I never thought I'd say this, John, but I miss that!
Betty Ann, I don't know if you remember me, but we met at Will Perry's graduation party when he finished law school. I was alone....

My sympathy to you at this very trying time

Dear Betty Ann,

It was my pleasure to know John and benefit from his wisdom and counsel in two non-profit settings. His dedication to the community, energy and wit will be sorely missed.

My condolences.

Dear Family and especially Nancy Monroe Hill:

I am so sorry to hear and read of John's Death. We will remember him in our prayers and you and Bobby too. The Monroe's were a big part of my childhood. Suzanne was a very special friend of mine.

Nancy, I talked to Patsy, my sister, last nite. She and Al are doing OK but unable to make the trip to Cleveland. Al said John was a good friend of his from St. Ann's and St. Ignatius, John Carroll.

Betty Ann I...

John was an inspiration to us all at McDonald, Hopkins. A team player, a relentless professional, and a kind man. John seemed to know everybody, and everybody respected John. We will miss his good cheer, wit, and dedication to service.

Betty Ann and family: You have my deepest and sincerest condolences durng this time of loss. Though I only worked for John for 1 1/2 years, we were able to build a special friendship that made him comfortable enough to welcome me into your home. For that, I will always be ever so grateful for the trust and confidence John had in me. John will definitely be missed by me. May the Blessings of our Lord and Savior be with you and your family always.
