John Mohn died Dec. 18, 2007, of congestive heart failure in Dover, N.J.

John prepared at the Lawrenceville School. At Princeton he majored in history and joined Dial Lodge. He won numerals as a member of the freshman golf team.

In 1942 John was drafted into the Army and spent a year as an enlisted man in the quartermaster corps before being commissioned. He transferred to the engineers, with service first in camps in the southern United States and then in Guam. He was discharged as a captain in 1946.

After the war, John returned to New Jersey and a career in the financial-services industry. Certain constants in his life persisted: his love of animals and his excellence as a bridge player and golfer. His skills in golf were honed in a foursome that included Bob Baldwin and Bob Marquardt. John qualified for the 1956 USGA National Amateur Golf Tournament in Illinois and had played in several North-South championships in North Carolina. His nine-hole course record of 29 on the third nine at the Montclair Golf Club remains unbroken.

To his wife, Anita; his sons, John III and Christopher; his daughters, Anita Schwartz and Robin Ely; and seven grandchildren; the class sends condolences.
