John Mohan

[Armstrong, Todd]

Dear Colleagues,

It is with great sadness that the Russian Department at Grinnell College informs you that John Mohan, friend, colleague, beloved professor of Russian, and longtime advocate of Russian studies, passed away unexpectedly Saturday evening, April 5, 2003. Cause of death was heart failure. Our thoughts and prayers are with John's wife, Joan, his sons John Paul and Joseph and the rest of his family, colleagues, and with his many, many students, past and present, at this time of great sorrow. 

Professor Mohan's funeral will be held at 3:30 p.m., Wednesday, April 9, at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Broad and Fifth Streets, Grinnell, Iowa. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, April 8, noon - 9:00 p.m. at Smith's Funeral Home, corner of Sixth and Broad Streets. The family will be present between 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. with a scripture and prayer service at 8 p.m.  A memorial service will be held in Herrick Chapel on the Grinnell College campus on Thursday, April 10 at 4 p.m., with a reception in Bucksbaum Rotunda immediately following.

Memorial contributions may be made to St. Mary's Church of Grinnell, Iowa.

An official announcement can be found on the Grinnell College frontpage, www.grinnell.edu.

Sincerely,

The Russian Department
