John will always be firmly etched in my heart. We used to tease each other a lot in a faculty lounge. I do believe the word "jock" passed over myips more than once. Once, we ran into each other at the State Fair in WSest Allis. John's comment, "look who I rin into when I'm not carrying a gun."

John was my High School Biology teacher(he was tough!); my track coach(he was demanding!); and I worked for his construction company one summer(he was a perfectionist!). Thanks for the guidance that you gave me through my teen-age years. May God bless you and your family!

I remember John helping my mom and I set up a trampoline for my children. We were both so very thankful for his strength. We couldn't have done it without his help. I also remember coming home to find a paddle boat on our front lawn. Without his truck to transport it home from the auction my kids wouldn't have had all that fun at the lake.

My deepest sympathy to the family. He will be missed.

To the family of John Seybold,
My most memorable moments was riding with John ,in his golf cart, to feed his horses Trepor and Cody. Along with his shelty dog, Pauly.
And the fun times at the pool with friends, he has since he was memeber of the Eagles Club.
Also John's great sense of humor .
He will be greatly missed.
