John Carl Liebert

Mr. Liebert was one of my favorite teachers at Grace School. I have so many memories from my years there. Foremost Mr. Liebert taught me that my faith walk is mine and doesn't happen through my parents or school. Facebook gave me the opportunity to reconnect in a small way to him. I thank God for his influence in my young life.

I spent many Saturday mornings at Grace Lutheran School attending confirmation class led by Mr. Liebert. He was very strict, but I do remember him being a jokester. He and Carole welcomed me into their home when I was home during vacation break from Concordia, Seward. Such a nice couple, I was blessed to know them.

One of my favorite Teachers. Always greeted me with "I´d rather be dead than red on the head". Aside from his jovial sayings he was a great teacher. Jared, Jay, and other family members my thoughts and prayers are with you.

RIP Mr. Liebert

BHS 1986-1990.

We were so blessed to know John and Carole ("Carol with an E") in Kennewick at Bethlehem Lutheran Church &School for these few years. Can´t tell you how many games of cribbage John beat Doug at. Til we all meet again!

Dear Jay, Noel, Jared, and families.........Where do I start with memories of John Liebert! The first time I met John, was way back in the late 60s. At that time, I was a registered member of Grace Lutheran Church. John was a young teacher/Principal at Grace Lutheran School. Part of John's ministry was to make personal calls to all members of the church with school aged children, with a house call. At that time I was a single Mom and no way could I consider a private/parochial education for my kindergarten and 1st grade daughters. John made it happen.

Soon I met Carole, and we developed a wonderful friendship and communicated regularly over the course of approx 57 yrs. What a loss for me.
Carole and John were reliable and loyal friends in those early years of education at GLS for me and my girls, whom I counted on in those early years as I raised my daughters. Needless to say, they didn't disappoint.
I remember several "Johnisms", but a couple stick out in my mined. 1) "No pain no gain". 2)The team name he gave for the hard working coed softball team at GLS, was "The Gunzels"! So perfect! 3) Wearing athletic shorts way into the fall, like in Nov. at OG football games. Carole and John made a great team. John was a man that never asked anyone to give more, than he was willing to give himself. Carole and John's strong Christian faith was the foundation for their marriage, and their journey together as they ministered to others. In loving memory of my dear friends, Carole and John.

So sorry for your Family's loss. He was definitely an original . Enjoyed having him as a teacher.

Sorry for the passing of both John and Carole. Prayers for your entire family. John was the grandson of our Grandfather, Fred Liebert´s brother, Theodore Liebert. Our dad, Walter Liebert´s cousin. My brother, Marvin Liebert is also a resident of Brookdale @ Canyon Lakes. My niece Jeanette W.(Kennewick) enjoyed their visits @ B,CL.
