John Arensberg Obituary

Oh no. I just now received this notification of John's passing.

Mary, Julie, Andy, Tom, and family,

I am so saddened to hear of the loss of John. He was a staple in "OUR" old time Lawrence community although times have changed in this town. May God Bless John as with all of his family. - Jason Hammond

Peace and love to John and all of his and your family.

I have missed so many of my old friends from the country club days and John was sure one of them

Dear Arensberg's, my name is Scott Schaefers, son of Jerry and nephew of Earl. I am in KS on business today and went through Atchinson and it spurred a memory of Jack and I went online to find that he recently passed away. I remember what good friends they were with quail hunts down here and fishing trips and Boy's Week at our cabin in Minnesota. Even though I was a kid during those trips, I remember those visits and Jack fondly. I remember thinking how I hoped I would have the type of friendships they shared and take trips with my friends like they did. They all are up in the Happy Hunting Grounds now where the bird are plentiful, the dogs are good and the cocktails are cold. We send our thoughts and prayers are with you all, but know Jack had a life well lived.

Jeff and all of the families, I am sorry to hear of your loss.

Mary, so sorry to hear about Jack. His name brought so many happy memories of our bridge games and many hours talking with you. I'm still living in my home and still enjoying bridge. I wish you peace.

Jack was a good ol boy. He will be missed

Tom I am sorry for your loss of your beloved Dad. You have spoken of him often and I feel like through you I knew him a little bit. I sure did know his shoe store, and was disappointed when it closed. I know he was a big part of your life, and I know you will miss him dearly. I am thinking of you and your family.

My sincerest condolences to family, friends, and all those who loved Mr. Arensberg.

Sorry to hear the news of Jack's passing. My thoughts and prayers for the entire family.

Mary, Andy, and Family - We will always remember our wonderful times together in Lawrence. Our deepest sympathy to all of you. May he rest in peace.
With Love and Prayers,
Larry and Rosemary Lovett

Condolences to the family. Let good memories guide you.

Mary & family---I have a lot of great memories of Jack and was saddened to read he had passed. He was a wonderful person and will be missed by many. My prayers to all of you at this difficult time.

Julie, Andy, Tom, and Family,

I am so sorry to hear of your Dads' passing. He was very well known in "Our" old Lawrence community and was always a nice man whenever I met him at the store. My prayers are with all of you. May God Bless you, Tom.

Mary, Tim, Tom, Jeff, Julie, and Andy - I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember Jack as a fun loving neighbor who enjoyed block parties, fireworks, and picnics on West Eighth Street. As a long-time babysitter for the Arensberg children, I only fell asleep once - around 5am on a Sunday morning - and Jack loved to tease me about sleeping on the job. My prayers are with you all.

To Tim, Tom, Andy and your families. I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing. You are all in my thoughts. I will be praying for your comfort and peace throughout these difficult days. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

To the extended Arensberg family: The Hedges family extends our heartfelt condolences for the loss of Jack. We have so many fond memories of the fun, hilarious, and enjoyable times we have spent with your family and Jack. We will treasure those memories forever. Jack's visit with Chuck before he passed and that photo of them shaking hands one last time was very special to us. We hope they are greeting each other now discussing some golf rounds, card games, ski trips, story telling and more! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We appreciate all the special times spent together over the years.

I was so sorry to read of John's passing. I saw him at the store for years and at McDonald's with his buddies. Prayers for Jeff and the family.

We are very sorry for your loss, all of the Arensberg family is in our thoughts.

I was saddened to read that my good friend, Jack, had passed away. I moved from Lawrence a little over 2 years ago. When I would visit Lawrence, I would go to the McDonald's coffee group, hoping to see Jack. We had a long standing friendly debate about politics. He was an avid Democrat and I was an avid Republican. We loved to needle each other. I used to tell him that he was the only Democrat that I ever liked and he would just laugh! Lawrence was a much better City because of Jack Arensberg! He will sorely be missed. I pray for comfort and blessings on his family.
Kudos to Herbie and Duck for bringing Jack to the coffee group after Jack could no longer drive.

To the family . . . I did not know your father personally, but I still pray for a calming peace to be bestowed of each of you . . . during this time of bereavement and the days to follow.

Our heartfelt condolences to Mary and the whole Arensberg family. Jack will be missed.

Saying goodbye to someone we love is heartbreaking. May you find comfort in all the special memories shared with Mr. Arensberg.

my condolences
