John Raymond Soehnlein

It´s hard to believe that John has been gone so long. I miss him. I loved busting his chops. After golf on Thursdays, he would bring his little four-legged friend to visit with my paralyzed wife, Cora. It meant so much to both of us and he always made the time in spite of his schedule. Our Golf group is constantly remembering John on the golf course... Usually some of the funny things that he said or did. John will always be in our hearts..

John: I will never forget you. You became one of my best friends. Such a loss of a man of great energy and accomplishment. Phil

Kayaking season has begun again. Think of John each season. He is missed.

Carol & Family,
I just heard about John passing away and Sylvia and I extend our deepest regrets. For the many years we worked together at Sikorsky I greatly appreciated his tremendous work ethic And loyalty to the company. His ability to gain the trust and confidence of the customer resulted in a relationship that contributed to many Sikorsky successes. His job description was to go out and win a world of friends and that is what he did so well. He will be missed by many, but not...

John was one of the leaders of our kayak club, Branford Kayak Club. He was so personable, supportive, positive and fun to be with. He was so interesting. His activities were so diverse. I was getting ready to retire and worried about lifes changes and he was an inspiration. I was looking forward to paddling this summer with him. He will be sorely missed.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

John, you were a good human being! BLEIB EIN VERNUENFTIGER MENSCH!
It was a pleasure to know you! Peace to you and your family,
Gerd Schubert

John and I used to walk home together from St Josephs elementary school in Oradell/New Milford starting in the third grade. In fact, I have a class picture from the third grade and he is in it. Even then (imagine that today!), he showed me how to cross the railroad tracks from the woods b/c he learned how (by himself, he said). He lived right next to the tracks in River Edge and knew all the train times. (Funny how that cones to mind now). He was a very smart kid, and he would go about...
