John D. Ruettiger

I just today heard that John had passed away. My deepest sympathies to his entire family. I went to grade school with John and will always have amazing grade school memories! I ran into John about about 1992 - all he talked about was his wife and kids! God's blessings....

My prayers are with the Ruettiger family at this time of sadness and loss.

Dear Ruettiger Family,
It was so hard for me to believe when I was told of John's cancer. I have many memories of John just from the neighborhood and from school. But one that comes to mind is when he brought Lynn to the house down May street where I was babysitting and telling us that this was the girl he was going to marry. How lucky was Lynn. I would occasionaly run into Lynn at Marshall Fields and the last time I ran into John was about 5 years ago in Manhattan and we excahnged hugs...

To
John's family,
I met John in 1983 when he was a freshman in high school and in my
class. He was a spirited young man always smiling and trying to
convince me that homework wasn't really necessary. I can no longer
remember his academic ability in math, but I will never forget his
smile. His presence will truly be missed, as he seemed to enjoy being
with people and making them laugh.
My sincere sympathy and prayers are with all of you,
Marge Mostyn

Dear Bob, Sue, Laura and family,

I was deeply saddened to hear of John's death. John was on the prayer chain at our church (Manhattan United Methodist Church), however, I had not made the connection until I went to the salon today. You all will remain in my thoughts and prayers.
