Not sure what to say?

I was one of the very fortunate student to have "Mr. Stefanik" as my Chemistry teacher at Reedsville High School. He made class enjoyable and I remember his puns and humor as ways for us to remember. No science class could ever compare.
He loved life and shared that love with his students. Thank you for sharing him with us.

Al taught many years with John at
Reedsville High School and we became good friends with John and Dona and their daughters. A lot of good times and laughs will always be remembered.
John was a good teacher and his students loved him. God give you strength at this sad time, Dona. Joan, and Carol.

I was so sorry to hear about "Mr. Stefanik's" passing. But 101--what a great long life! Remembering fondly a great teacher who really did make science fun! With sincere sympathy. Jean (Remiker) Nohr

My condolences to the Stefanik family!! I had Mr. Stefanik at Reedsville High School for Chemistry!! Not being scientifically inclined, his teaching allowed me to learn and also enjoy the class! He had a great sense of humor, and sometimes I thought him the "mad scientist"! Glad he had a great life and lived to a ripe old age! You will miss him, but think of the joy he is bringing to the heavens!!
My Deepest Sympathy,

Dear Joan and the rest of the Stefanik family. Condolences to you on the loss of your father. Mr. Stefanik was one of my favorite teachers at Reedsville High and I would not have made it through chemistry without him. God's blessings to your family.

Dona and Family,
Please accept our deepest sympathies. We remember that great sense of humor from school and we know how much you will miss John.
May God all of you,
