John P. Schooley

Dear Schooley Children,

The world is a much poorer place with both your Mom and Dad gone now. For close to 20 years I conducted yearly Chi Omega Christmas wine tastings at your parents home for Barb's alumni group. Your Mom and Dad were such wonderful and gracious hosts. I most enjoyed getting there early and staying a little late so we could just hang around and chat. Both your parents were so unpretenscious and kind.

May time ease the loss, allow the sun to once again rise in...

My condolences go out to the entire Schooley family.

John Schooley brought much work and talent together for projects around the world. It was an honor when he hired me along with Bob Caldwell back in the 70's. It was an adventure which inspired me to go to graduate school and on to projects in Europe. Thanks to John Schooley my time at Schooley Cornelius & Assoc. was the best job experience and a great time of meeting some fine people. We need more people like John Schooley & Bert Cornelius to inspire today’s professionals. He will be missed...

We are deeply saddened to learn of John's passing into the chapter eternal.

To John's Dear Family,

Though I had seen John only a few times in the last 45+ years, the notice of his passing brought back many happy memories. I grew up in Grandview - graduating in "47 so knew John at that time in our lives and then John and my late husband were SAE brothers together at OSU. We shared those wonderful years and a few mugs of purple passion, too.

Your Dad was a fun person to know!

The circle keeps getting smaller.

Peace and God Bless

I was both honored and privileged to have met John when he came to my gallery to see David Hostetler's work. John was an ardent supporter of the arts. He was also funny, kind, and a genuinely charming man. My condolences to the family and his friends (I'm sure he had many). It was my good fortune to have met and shared conversations with John over the past two years.

Although I only met Mr. Schooley on a few ocassions, I was quick to learn of his nature. He was a very decent man, and extremely committed to his pursuits in architecture and the arts and how they might improve the quality of life in Columbus. Columbus has suffered a true loss in his passing. My condolences to his family and those others who were close to him.

It is an honor to have known and worked with John. We will remember him always for his laughter and love of bow ties. May God bless his wife and entire family during this time of sorrow. Remember he will live on in your memories forever.

Dear Schooley Family,
As a respecting colleague of John, it was disapponting to hear of his passing as to us he was too young. He was great supporter of architecture and the arts, and a leader in our profession. He left his mark on our community and we enjoyed he and Barbara socially. Regretfully, we cannot attend his service as we are in Florida.
May God bless you all.
