John Philip Pendleton

I was fortunate to have mr. Pendleton as a professor at VC. He had a system which allowed him to remember the names of each student. He is one of the favorite professor ms that I have ever had. The atmosphere of the class was one that welcomed discussion and kept everyone engaged. Bless him.

Ms. Pendleton, I'm so sorry to hear of this. I was a huge fan and former pupil of Dr. Pendleton. Loved everything about the person he was, he changed my life. I attribute so much of who I am today to him. So grateful for everything he showed me, can't wait to read that final book, I hope it comes our way. Prayers and good energy being sent your way. Oh, how I'll miss 'Juanito De Santa', being from Santa paula , he let me know that's what the kids called him. One of his last quotes he gave me was in regards to the state of the nation. He said to me, 'I think we may have been with the Chinese curse: may be live in interesting times'. So much wisdom from this man, may he rest in peace. Much love to the Pendleton family during this somber time

I am so sorry for your loss. I am thinking of you and remember John fondly.

I am sorry for your loss. It is hard losing someone in death. I have lost my dad and grandparents. So I know the pain it can bring. One thing that helps me is prayer and the memories. One scripture that helped me is 1 Peter 5:10 talks about the God of comfort during trials. Please read that very encouraging.

I was shocked when I read of John's passing. I'm so sorry Stephanie. I cleaned your carpets for over 40
years, and enjoyed our visits each time. I'll pray for your thoughts in your time of need.

Stephanie I'm so sorry for ur loss.. I use to babysit for u and John way back in the day. Wow John was quite a man a very smart man!! I thought when I was young that John was a medical Dr. I grew up and soon realized otherwise. Just thought I would share that with u. :)

I recently heard of John's passing. I wish the family well and I hope his memory gives them comfort. I was an Olli student in Camarillo and had the pleasure of taking several of his classes. No notes for John! It was all there in his head. He brought history to life with his stories. It was his knowledge of American History I thought so fascinating and to this day I enjoy reading about it. He gave so much to all his students and I am sure we are all a bit better for it.

Johnny was a longtime friend. I'll miss his smile and ever present sense of humor.
I have many fond memories of Johnny. Wobert Waite's class comes to mind. My heart goes out to his wife Stephanie, sister Mary and family. I'm proud I knew Johnny and he'll be greatly missed. Carry on Johnny.
