My sympathy to John's family. He was "one of the guys" at WGHS and I remember his generous character then. I wish I had known he was into geneology...he would have been most helpful for the research I'm doing on my deceased husband's family. Rejoice in the Lord! John has a new new home and new neighbors now. We will remember John with love.

We'd like to send our utmost sympathy to John's family. In the short time we knew John, we enjoyed many conversations from "across the fence" as neighbors. He kept us updated with his newest genealogy find, while teasing us about the time spent doing yard work. You can live many places, next to many different people, but finding a neighbor like John is hard to come by. He will be greatly missed.
Keeping you in our prayers,

Our sympathy to John's family and friends.
His friendship in High School was greatly
valued and riding around Webster Groves in
his Dad's Hudson Hornet,with Twin H power, was a blast. We'll miss you John!

I remember John as a classmate in grade school, from the earliest grades. My father had known his father at Purdue in the 1920's. A hearty, swaggering, laughing kid, it was impossible not to like him...though I may have tried, once or twice. My best wishes and condolences to his family; RIP, John.

John was a remarkable man though I only met him twice when he visited the Claypool Health Information Center at SSM St. Mary's Medical Center. He and his wife Nancy dreamed of a place where people could find health informtion. When she preceded him he took their dream and made it a reality by obtaining funding for the Center and actively participating in its development. His comment last fall was ,"If I could do this then others will have the confidence to do it ." He showed great love not only for his wife and family . He showed love for the community.
My heart felt sympathy to his family and friends . Emily

Our sympathy to John's family. We only knew him for a short time here in our neighborhood, but we know he was a fine man.
We are happy he knew the Lord and is now at peace with his Savior.
God bless all John's family!
