Bro. John was an exceptional person! We knew him when he was pastoral assistant at Our Lady of Guadalupe in Helotes. He moderated a couples group to which we belonged, with love and laughter and joy. He drove to Louisiana with two other parishioners to help us celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary (that was 25 years ago!). Those of us who were surrounded by Marianists, from young adulthood to becoming grandparents, grew in understanding of our church and our world.
Much Love, Bro. John! So many memories...

Bro. John was one of my favorite teachers at Nolan back in the 70s. He was the first teacher to help me to realize that I had an aptitude for science. What a positive impact on so many people. May he Rest In Peace.

Bro. Rohe was the best teacher I had while at Nolan. He was very patient with my immaturity. Rest in peace and I will always keep you in my prayers.

Brother John was one of the most intelligent and witty men I know. I could sit with him and listen and talk and laugh and pray and always come away with a new perspective on life. His ability to engage and discuss life with all persons of every age was a true gift from God. The world is definitely a better place because of the life God gave him on this earth. While we are very sad at his passing, we are over-joyed at his finally being with our Lord and Savior. May God bring him into His loving hands and may he rest in peace.
