We will gather to celebrate John’s life on his birthday, Sunday, April 26, at 11:30 AM in the Hess Auditorium at Deerfield Academy.
We invite you to wear blue if you would like, John’s favorite color.
The memorial will include a short program with music and reflections. After the service, all are welcome to stay, connect, and share stories. Light refreshments will be served.
We are exploring options to share a virtual or recorded version for those who can’t join in person, and will share more details as they’re confirmed.
Thank you for being part of this community and for honoring John in such meaningful ways.
