JOHN WASHBURN

I will miss John and the walks we would take in autumn to the wild life refuge in the great meadows of Concord. The geese would be sweeping in to winter over until warmer weather. He was a lovely friend.

Memory Eternal

John was smart and able to push for results. For AMICC, he organized groups around the US to support the ICC. He brought people from across the country to meet officials from the ASP and for the first ASP in 2002. Part of his legacy is the many who remain advocates because of his relentless push for greater US participation with the ICC. He was also kind and funny-a true joy to be with. He gave lots and will be missed.

I knew John from my time at the Coalition for the ICC. He was an intelligent man with keen insight, but far more importantly, he was the kindest man I've ever met. He treated everyone he met with considerable dignity, regardless of their status. A true gentleman.

John was one of the most loyal, dedicated, strategic, and effective members of the Coalition for the International Criminal Court from our beginning days. He is an inspiration. William Pace, CICC Convenor 1995-2019

I remember John from organizing the law students during the work on the Intl. Criminal Court. Ran into him many times at the UN in NYC. Missed.

I knew John from his days working with the CICC and setting up AMICC. I've rarely encountered someone who radiated so much kindness, intelligence, energy, and good will. May his memory be a blessing.

I am one of John's cousins; also originally from Duluth, Minnesota. While 1/2 a generation older than me, and living across the country, I came to more closely know him the past several years. Much of our activity was related to his traveling to the Twin Cities to see an ailing relative. He and I spoke on the phone and I came to have a much greater appreciation for who he was and what he was all about. Reading his obituary reminded me of how well he fits one of my favorite scripture...

John symbolized a real Renaissance man. It's easy to remember him in his signature blazer and straw hat... reflective of his true gentleman status.
