JOHN LUNDQUIST Obituary


JOHN F. LUNDQUIST  
Long-time Arlington resident, John F. Lundquist, passed away quietly on the evening of Tuesday, May 27, 2014 at the age of 89. Born in 1925, John was the only son of John and Ida Lundquist, and was raised and lived in Arlington his entire life. He graduated from Washington-Lee High School in 1943 and proudly attended his 70th reunion this past summer. He attended George Washington University prior to enlisting in the U.S. Navy during WWII. John was a dedicated member of his local VFW chapter for many years. After the war, John worked for the U.S. government as an accounting clerk until he retired. John was a kind-hearted, generous, sweet soul who was known and loved by many. He ambled the streets of Arlington and "never knew a stranger". He was always ready to stop and chat, share a snack, a cup of coffee and a good conversation. He was a big sports fan, and particularly loved baseball: Go Nats! He will be missed by all who knew him. A memorial gathering will be held in his memory at the VFW Chapter 3150 in Arlington, Virginia on Monday, June 9, 2014 at 6 p.m. Fond memories and online condolences may be offered at www.moneyandking.com

John was a wonderful, generous human being who was always willing to share his time, his genuine goodness, and a story or two. He was my father's first cousin and when we lived next door, you could always count on homemade goodies from his mother, Ida, and fun and lively repartee with John. Good memories indeed. He will certainly be missed by our entire family. Godspeed, John.

John Lundquist was a life long member of the Clarendon Presbyterian Church. He is fondly remembered there, and will be missed.

John will be missed at Post 3150. I don't know if there was ever a more dedicated member to the post. We will not soon forget him.
