I worked with John at the Conservation Department for many years. John was a very unique person and had a great sense of humor. I remember how he always loved to watch basketball and hockey. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and hope that all your wonderful memories of John will help you through this sad time.

John was the youngest of the 4 boys and then their lives changed when Belva was born - a princess amongst the boys. We cousins were an unruly mob growing up but loved each other and have kept in touch throughout the years. John was a good kid and an even better man. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

John and I sat through many an interview panel while we worked with MDC. John was fair, professional, and had the personality that you always looked forward to working with.

Lauren, I am sorry for your loss. I knew your Dad from working at the same place, St. Joseph Hospital in St.Charles.
He was such a funny, happy, go-lucky guy and he always made me laugh. Keeping you in my prayers.

To the Mennemeyer family, so sorry for your loss. All the Mennemeyer kids were well liked, with such a good sense of humor. Each of my sisters were blessed to have a Mennemeyer as a friend. Such a great family.

My dear friend John was my boss at the Conservation Department when I lived in Jefferson City and one of the best people I knew. Or friendship continued after I moved, and I am so grateful I had that. He loved his family so much. I’m going to miss his smart wit and his love for the Blues. Keeping Lauren and the family in my prayers.

Lauren my condolence to you and your family. John was a good friend & golfing buddy. He was so proud of you & your family. He always had a good story & new pics on his phone of your growing family. I am very sad to hear this news. John was one of a kind & will be greatly missed by many.

I worked with John for many years at the Dept of Conservation. He was thorough, competent, but, more importantly, was a great person to be around. He always talked so lovingly about his daughter. My life was made much richer by knowing John. Please accept my sympathy.

I worked with John at MDC throughout his career and was lucky to become a friend over the years. He helped me deal with a number of personnel matters, always professionally, but quick with a joke or a welcome wisecrack as soon as the work was accomplished. He often talked of his daughter and family. He was a good man!

Lauren: So sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. He worked for me several years as Assistant Personnel Director at St. Joseph Hospital in St. Charles. He is one of the best people I ever hired. All the staff in our department enjoyed working with him. His people skills and his humor are some of the qualities we will always remember.
Hold on to all fond memories of your time together. Our deepest sympathy to your entire family. John and Lorraine Sarantakis

I am sorry to hear about John's passing. We didn't work in the same office, but I enjoyed talking with him in the hallways while we worked at the MO Dept of Conservation and seeing him at retiree events. I will miss his lively, outgoing personality and opinions about anything and everything. Rest well, my friend.

John was a bright light, always enjoyed the time I was around him. Although I did not work as close to him as others I got nothing but good comments from those that did.
