John Wallace O'Hear

My brothers and I got to know John several years ago while working together on a Starkville project. Regret I had not known him sooner. What a special and gifted man. He had so much knowledge, and wit, and willingly shared. One brother (Jody) was privileged to have known John for long while and always spoke very highly of him. Our deepest sympathy.

Nina, we are so sorry!! We loved John and will always remember his smiling face beating those drums. We are thinking of you and your daughters. Love, Sonny and Gail Kelly.

John is a guy that plays drums with an excellent band now.I love him.

So many years (over 40) ago that Nina and I worked together at OCH! Looking through old pics and found some from when John, Nina, Susan, Jason, Peter and I all went to my hometown for the Neshoba County Fair. I googled John since I was sure he had excelled in his field and was telling one of my sons about my old days at State and thought I might find something on him. My heart broke when I found this recent obit! Nina, you were so dear to me and I pray for you and your family. Much love and...

Good-bye, John. I always enjoyed your humorous stories and insights into archaeology and other things. John Blitz

John was a friend & fraternity brother. He always had a smile and a witty observation at hand and he was a great conversationalist. I will miss him. YITB John. Tom Ryan.
