Born to Eternal Life on May 5, 2021 at age 73. He will be missed by his loving son Raymond Schaefer and Katy Ruby; and the love of his life, Cathy Schaefer. He was the proud grandfather of Caleb, Noah, and Ethan; and dear brother of the late Mary (the late Donald) Hanke. Also loved by his nieces, in-laws, other family members, friends, and co-workers at Froedtert Hospital.
Special thanks to the Cancer Care team at Froedtert and the staff at Horizon Hospice for the care and love that they gave to John; and appreciation for the many cards, gifts, and food that was lovingly sent, prayers that were said, and miracles that occurred.
