John Temple Obituary

TEMPLE John Stanley Temple, born August 26, 1922, was reunited with his wife Mary C. Temple (McMaster of nearly 50 years, on July 7, 2006 (by way of Cincinnati). He was a welder for Jaeger Machine Co. for 33 years and a part-time mechanic for friends and neighbors. He is survived by his daughters, Sue Holland, Kathy Temple and Patricia Gaber; grandchildren, Carissa and Aimee Holland, Michael, Ruah and Louis Gaber; brothers, Edwin and Gregory Temple; dear friend, Maxine Hanlin; and constant companion, Simba. John rode a Harley from the time he was big enough to kick start one, with the ride getting better once Mary joined him. His passion for motorcycles was passed on to his daughters, Kathy and Patricia. If anyone has a Skyhook his oldest daughter, Sue, is still looking for one. Following John's wishes, there will be no funeral service. A memorial gathering for the family and friends will be planned for a later date. Arrangements completed at JERRY SPEARS FUNERAL HOME with CREMATORY, 2693 West Broad St.

Kathy and Family



I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.

I lost my dad a few years back.

It does get easier, but I still miss

him.



Best wishes, Tom
