John A. Treptow

Every time I think of Alaska, which is often, I think of John. I knew him in law school, he was in my class. I wish that I had arranged to spend time in Alaska, watching Treptow-Hocky @ Diamond HS & just visiting. My dream was, when we both were old, to have John take us on a week or ten day tour of what he thought was important to see in Alaska. I still miss him & probably always will. T. Rankin T.

I miss you, John.

Almost ten years on and I miss you, John. You were a gentle bear of a man with a sly smile, and it was an honor to work with you. Your family appears to be thriving. You would be proud.

I had the pleasure of working down the hall from John at the Department of Law before I retired. He was an outstanding lawyer, of course, but what most impressed me about him was his kindness. He would go out of his way to complement others and to share his knowledge and experience. He was a very special individual and I felt fortunate to have known him.

The Kroll family sends our deepest sympathies to you all. We enjoyed getting to know him at the rink and on our hockey trips. Seemed like John would always find a golf course for the kids to play at during some of the trips and Zak always told us how "cool" Johh was. I'll miss running into him at Fred's and hearing how the family is doing...may time and memories help you make it thru this difficult time. Shari Kroll

I met John within mere weeks of starting a new job at the Alaska Bar Association. He was instantly a steadfast supporter and comrade in our joint goals of equal access to justice. He was creative, tenacious, patient, and ever so kind. Ten years later it was like not a day had passed since we first met--he was just as committed to the cause and of course, had possibly grown even more kinder. The loss of John is huge to many circles--family, friends, community--and I thank the Treptow...

I'm very sorry to hear that John passed away. In our dealings as attorneys, he was honorable, competent, fair and you could trust him at his word. That is high praise for an attorney. But even more, he was a good man.

The Rounds family was so shocked and saddened to hear of this. WE adored this wonderful hockey dad and family man as we knew him. Mr T. was an all time favorite of the hockey moms, such a steady gentleman, kind and consistent.
He also mentored Taylor as he headed off to Law school, helping him decide where to get his education, this took place at the Blue Line club at the Ice rink.
We spent many Thanksgivings and Christmas breaks traveling, he enjoyed his boys and was always a proud...
