I just learned of Coach K's passing. When our sons were teens, he volunteered many hours as their baseball coach. My son is now 41 & we have great memories of that time he so freely gave to those boys.

It was my honor to reconnect with John just a few short years ago. Despite the 40+ years between our talking it was like we had never lost touch. That was John. My life was enriched listening to him talk about his family. He is missed.

Dear Vickie
Yesterday when I went by Rug Masters, I instantly knew SOMETHING was different. When you told me John had passed I was instantly saddened. I felt his spirit there in spite of the fact that I couldn´t see him.
He is with you all now, all the time. He is in the Kings Army. He is Loving and watching over your family.
May you be comforted knowing that you will be reunited in the promised world of "forever".
God´s loving grace is magnificent, Merciful and true.
In Christian love and Faith, your friend Pat Walters

John will be missed immensely. Not just by me but the tons of people he has impacted. In my Masters program we were asked to interview a great leader. Of course, I chose John. He led with passion and wisdom that I was lucky enough to get to experience in my life. John was always a friend to me and I consider him like a father figure. He left me with knowledge and skills that I will forever cherish. My thoughts and prayers are with his family who have lost a great man.

Our prayers are with you.

Vickie, I am so saddened by John´s passing. He was a great a teammate and friend when we played basketball at Baptist College. John was not just a great player, but was always a great student of the game and passed his knowledge and passion on to the rest of us. My memories of John and those days are all a blessing to me and I will cherish them for ever. Prayers for you and the family!

Wow! Not enough terms to describe John's life and accomplishments. It is a trite saying that he will be sorely missed, but the truth, is he will. We remember all the good visits we had both in Charleston and Ft. Wayne. We were truly fortunate to chat with John on our last trip through Charleston in March, 2021. You never know what the Lord has in store for you in the future. May the memories of John as a husband, father, and grandfather be a joy to you in these stressful times. God bless you Vicki, Kurt, and Margaret as you go on in this world as John is now where we all look forward in faith to being re-united.Extending our sympathy and prayers, Dr. Bill & Sharon

Dear Vicki,
I was so surprised to read John's obituary. What a kind person. He was here to measure my steps for rugs. We talked and laughed about old times as I showed him how pleased I was with the ones Kurt had already installed. We have known each other since before you got married and we gave you that wonderful Maggie! How very much you loved her. I know that she and John have already found each other.
Thoughts, love, and prayers for the Shogry/Kammeyer families. I will never forget your kindness to me and I will love you forever!
