John Schatz Jr.

John and I worked together from 1972 to 1979 at RPI's Nuclear Engineering Facility. I was a student who treasured the friendship and assistance that John provided for many years.

My wife and I visited John a couple of times over the years and relived our earlier years.

We offer you our deepest condolences.

John was a quiet, kind-hearted soul. I never heard him speak a bad word of anyone. When you hit upon a topic of interest, he would become animated and happily share his thoughts and knowledge. I have seen him display love of family, music, science, film and animals. He was a man who thought deeply yet spoke softly. He was a loyal son, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew, brother-in-law and friend. Gone too soon and will be missed.

Dear Lillian and family,
I am very saddened to hear about John's passing. He will be missed by many, many people. My condolences and love.

I am profoundly, deeply saddened by the news of my close friend and colleague's death. He helped me out enormously from 1998-2005 or so with my concert recordings at Union College Memorial Chapel and Troy Music Hall. Words cannot express my sadness right now. He was deeply imaginative, resourceful, cheerful and committed to knowledge, thoroughness and excellence. He was just a great, great guy.

Lillian, Jim, Cathy, Julie, Johnny, and Liz
I share your loss. John was a dear friend, will be missed.

Kathy, I am very sorry for your loss.
