John Runion

Uncles John and Steve, with Aunt Sarita would stop at our house in NC every year on the way to Florida. I thank God for still knowing and loving them all; along with Valerie and Margaret. The circle of life goes on with all the beautiful grandchildren of us all. We love you.

To the Runion family,
I was one of Mr. Runion's music students in Whitney Point in the early 1960's. I can clearly recall particular pieces of classical music that were played in those classes which I had never heard before. Thank you for enriching the lives of so many students who had the privilege of sitting in your classrooms. My sincere sympathy to the family for your loss.

Thanks to Mr. Runion I will always be singing "Waltzing Matilda" "Bound for the Promised Land" and the Rachel/Reuben song!! It was 2nd or 3rd grade at Whitney Pt. School. Though I was extremely shy in school, for some reason I acted up in Mr. Runion's class. I wish I could say "I'm sorry" because I love music with all my heart and wish I had been a good student for him. He really loved and shared music and this what I remember the most. My sympathy to his entire family.

Diane, Eric, Amanda, and Andrew, and families - praying for you all. My heart goes out to you and wish I could be there to encourage each of you personally. Rest in the knowledge that we will see John again and in the meantime, "for this we have Jesus" for comfort, for strength to carry on, for every thing we need. Love in Christ, Leslie

I am so very sorry to hear of Mr. Runion's passing. My sincerest condolences to Mrs. Runion and family. God Bless.

Mr. Runion was my music teacher for several years. 20 years later I still hum tunes he taught us as children. God Bless.

Mr. Runion was my 4th grade band teacher. He came to our house and tuned our piano. He was a very patient genuine man. I was friends with and went to school with his daughter Amanda at Greene Central School. He will be missed and remembered by many people. To the family my prayers are with you.
