John Dummler Obituary
John taught social studies and English for 14 years. His passions included reading and music; he played the violin and sang in the church choir from the age of 6 until the day of his death.
John was a contemplative and quiet man who believed in saying more with less, often with a unique brand of humor. He will be remembered for his graceful patience and his limitless love for his family and friends.
He is survived by his wife, Helena, two young daughters, and an extended family who he loved.
A memorial service will be held on April 9 at Hope Evangelical Lutheran Church in San Mateo.

Growing up, the Rusch family were members of Hope Lutheran. I was a teenager when John was born. John's father, Pastor Jerry, had a lot to do with my Christian growth. I am so sorry of the loss of John. I'm sure he was as amazing a man, father and man of God as his Dad was.
