John Clinton Youle

Maura, Dan and I just learned of this incredibly sad news. We are beyond sad. We have wonderful memories of you both, and in them, you are always together smiling and laughing. We were fortunate to share time with you, whether we were talking geology and trips or learning of leather selling or dirt floor sweeping of your rental in Kansas.

John was such a loving part of my life. And his sense of humor was almost always at hand. John was so dedicated to his friends and I will always feel his companionship

Dear Maura and family - I only now learned of your loss just the other day, 7 months later. I was so sorry to hear, and my heart goes out to you all. I have very fond memories of taking your yoga classes, Maura, and wanted to extend my deepest condolences to you and your family.

Although I lost touch with John over the years, he (and his family) had a rare warmth, intellectual curiosity and joie de vivre. I have vivid memories of shared childhood adventures in Wayne generally, and in Galena specifically of wild rides in his father´s Model T. I think Johnny turned me on to Monty Python and to Led Zeppelin, but these are memories of over fifty years so not to be entirely trusted... My sincere condolences to all who knew and loved him.

Dear Maura, Bridie and Jack - My heart and prayers are with you during this very sad time. John was such an incredible joy to be around. I loved every minute I got to spend with him shreading turns on the slopes or ripping down turns on the mountain bike. My last memory, and one the I´ll now always cherish is riding with him around Phil´s World just a couple of months ago. Selfishly, I am missing the great friend John has been and the great friendship I was looking forward to in Durango,...

I always looked forward on playing tennis with John when I had the chance. He brought his best game along with his fine sense of humor. Off the court we would talk about where we traveled and where we want to explore next. Sounds like he had a great sense of adventure . I´ll b sending love to your family

I really enjoyed working with John in Egypt. Very funny and smart guy. He is missed. Brian Boutte

Maura and family - I was deeply saddened to hear about John. I always looked up to him as a geologist and a person. I enjoyed all the deep discussions we had about finding oil and sharing each others' experiences. He will be missed
