Very sorry to hear of John's passing. We were classmates at Livonia HS--both of us became teachers. My birthday is on January 31, 1941--just eight days younger than John. So glad to see the many positive comments about John's teaching career. My most vivid memory of John was his calmness. That quality stayed with him in his relationship with students and parents.

Dear Scott & Teresa, Cameron & Connor, I am so sorry for your loss! Your Dad accomplished so many things and touched many lives through the years. I am sure many memories have surfaced. You had him for many years and each of you can comfort one another with remembrances and look on the bright side. You all are in my thoughts and prayers!

John was a kind, fair, and completely genuine boss to me and an interested, caring principal while both our son and I were at Don Shute School. We were so lucky to have our lives touched in such good ways by him. Extending our sympathy to all of you for your loss of someone so dear. Bob and Elaine Steffen
Scott, Teresa, & Family...so sorry to hear about your loss. Keep all your good memories shared with John in your hearts, and he will always be with you. Our prayers go out for all of you. Love,
I had the privilege of working with John at Shute School. I have many fond memories of him. One of my favorites was when I was 9 mos. pregnant and John and I were trying to go through the door to the lounge belly to belly. We both got quite a laugh because we couldn't do it. He was a fun and fair principal who always had a smile. He would do anything for you. I am praying for your family and I know John will be extremely missed. Take care.
