John Randall Munn Jr. ’38

John died from complications of emphysema on July 25, 2000, in Redlands, Calif., his home for more than 40 years. At Princeton, John earned '38 numerals as a sub back on our undefeated, untied, unscored-upon freshman football squad.

Our 1948 yearbook noted that he was growing orange trees, was an executive for a water company, and was a developer and a trustee of several family trusts.

His maternal grandparents were Severances, an old California family who owned the Muscupiabe Rancho in northern San Bernardino County and donated part of the land for California State U., San Bernardino. John served on the county Republican Central Committee, had been a Trinity Episcopal Church junior warden, and had also served on the Redlands Public Works Commission and as a PTA pres.

For many years, he coached Redlands Baseball for Boys, now Baseball for Youth, and served as league coordinator.

Survivors include his wife of 46 years, Marbeth; a daughter, Marci; a son, John Edward, a navy commander now serving aboard the carrier George Washington, and two grandsons.
