JOHN PROFANT Obituary

John Profant

Jan 7, 1927 to May 14, 2019

John Profant, 92, died in his home in Riverside, CA. John's bride of 54 years, Joanne, preceded him in 2008.

He leaves behind his four children: James, John, Judith (Adams), and Joan (Valle); and many grandchildren and great grandchildren.

John was born and raised in Massillon, Ohio. In 1964 John and his wife moved their young family to Riverside, CA. John was a Massillon Tiger until the end-he was an avid sports fan and outstanding athlete playing both basketball and football in high school, and college basketball and football at Columbia University in New York. When not playing, coaching or watching sports, in his spare time, John was a teacher in Ohio, and later in California.

Sorry to hear of your dad's passing.
It has been a long time since I saw him and your mom.
My mom, Betty, was best friends with Joanne.
You have my sympathy.
