JOHN WINTHROP SEARS

Rest In Peace, John. You were a Class Act and a selfless public servant.

Was there ever a finer friend than John Sears? Johns Sears was a polymath of the first order. No matter what task he set for himself, he always fulfilled it with diplomacy, wit, and the highest of standards. Farewell, John.

So saddened by the loss of a friend and true statesman. His character and humanity led him to a life in public service. May he rest in peace and his memory be eternal.

Farewell, John W., Mentor, Friend and Dutch Uncle. My last official act as your final treasurer: Account is closed and settled on this good earth. Paperwork filed, by you in person, with a Higher Authority. Godspeed.

How to describe John Sears? Start with a word, unique. The quintessential Yankee by heritage and self-proclamation, he was considerate, dedicated to the commonweal, an inclusive partisan, a delightful wit with the memory of an elephant.
That's the start of the description of John Winthrop Sears.
We shall think of him frequently and miss him always.

Rest in peace, you were a fresh breadth of air and a positive reflection on politics in MA. We can use more folks like John Sears today in positions of public trust.
