John Enders Obituary

Joyce and family,
I'm so saddened to learn of John's passing. I got to know John while he was a grad student at MSU and was at the Museum. There were many graduate students that passed through there, and I was often invited to all the parties which were a lot of fun, especially those hosted by Rollin Baker. He was a kind guy and a lot of fun to be around. He will be missed.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I did not know John that much, but I remember a lot of us cousins outside talking and we all looked up to John even though we were very young. He always was so kind when ever I saw him.

My deepest condolences go to my Aunt Joyce and The Enders Family. Uncle John was and will always be remembered as a G. O. A. T.; truly a man who was the greatest of all. He always struck an interest in my life as far back as I can remember to my more recent memories. He would share stories of nature and take us on hikes through his property. He would joke with all of his nieces and nephews, however, he seemed to be much more tender with me.
It is with the heaviest of heart that I write how very sorry I am for the loss of a man whom touched all of our lives, family, friends, colleagues and students in such a positive and caring manner.
He will be deeply missed.
Love Always,
Talitha Ridley-Gorea & John Gorea

What a wonderful and gifted man who used his talents to improve the world. May he rest in peace. Pat Kandrovy

So sorry to hear of this.

To Joyce, your children, John’s sisters, Mary, Evelyn and Burdella, I am so sorry for your loss of John. He lived such a full and accomplished life. I will always have fond memories of him from elementary school through high school and beyond. When thinking of John, he will always bring a smile to my face.

I have many fond memories of my brother-in-law, John Enders. It was always a pleasure when he and Joyce came to visit us in SC and when we would visit them in PA. John was an a fine gentleman, husband, father, friend to many, Marine veteran, etc. He had made many achievements throughout his life. He loved nature, shared much knowledge, and had a sense of humor. Conversations with John and Joyce we were always fun and interesting. He will be fondly remembered and missed by many. May family and friends find comfort in happy memories. Sending sympathy, love, and prayers -

“A marine has passed away today.” Doctor, you are now relieved from your post. A job well done fellow veteran. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom and democracy. The final battle is now over and peace has been restored. The final bugle has sounded and taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation’s defender. Farewell fellow veteran. A Navy Vietnam Veteran.

Joyce my sincere condolences to you and family..prayers.

Please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of John. We know that he will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.
