As the anniversary of John's passing nears, I am reminded of the words I delivered in eulogy form at his memorial service. They are imbedded in my heart as are the memories of someone who left a lasting legacy to us all. My church has and will continue to offer weekly prayers in his name--Memory Eternal!
In remembrance to you, Ruth,and all the family...

To the family of John Maitland,

I guess it's a testimonial to John's memory that someone who hasn't seen him for at least 50 years could see something in the news and think of him - and sadly, find he has recently passed away. As a specialist in pharma marketing, so much of what he taught still resonates as I work on subjects like cardiology and diabetes. He made biology actually fun - and could well model the nation's focus on the sciences so badly needed today.

He blessed thousands of us with his knowledge, wit and inspired teaching style. In Judaism, we believe in the eternity of the "shem tov" - the "good name" - and that as long as those who remember him live, he lives. John truly had a "shem tov." He will long be remembered.

Mr. Maitland  was a  wonderful  biology  teacher.   He  was a  very  patient  person.   That  year  I  lived  in  Florida part  time and  he  helped  me with Biology.  I  remember  he  had trouble  with  his  sinuses  that  year  so  he  came to  school  with  black  eyes  after  having a  nose  job.  All  the  girls  had crushes  on  him.  He  was  awesome.   rip  John.  I  will  never  forget  you  as  you were  my  favorite  teacher.

I was gifted to have had Bob Rute as football coach and John Maitland as a wrestling coach and teacher.  Both of these fine men were also my father's friends, and, as a result, I had the priviledge of getting know them on a personal level. Ruth, please accept my condolances.  He will be missed.

Dear family of Mr. John Maitland.  This man was very important in my life.  He was a mentor, a confidant and a great wrestling coach.  He affected my life greatly and just about took the place of my Dad who died in 1958.  Mr. Maitland was a wonderful man and changed my life. May his memory always be for a blessing and please know, that he will certainly be missed by all.

Rip mr mainland you helped me several times in 1977(my senior year. Thank you

My deepest condolences. Mr. Maitland was a great teacher.

Ruth and family:
My deepest sympathy to all. John was my 10th grade Bio. teacher and my track coach. He had a tremendous influence on my wanting to do the same.  It was wonderful seeing the two of you at our 50th class reunion. God Bless.

RUTH AND ANNE OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU--ITS  BEEN A LONG TIME BUT JOHN'S PASSING DOES NOT ERASE THE GOOD MEMORIES FROM THE LAKE  AND PENN STATE FOOTBALL --HOPE YOU ARE ALL WELL IN THIS TIME OF SORROW--JOHN WAS A "GEM"!!!    FRAN AND PHYLLIS STORM  (SAN TAN VALLEY AZ)

Dear Anne and Family,
My sincere sympathy to you and your family as you go through this difficult time. Your Dad was a great man who will be remembered for his great accomplishments during his lifetime.

Ruth and Family,  My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time.  John was a great guy and wonderful friend.  May he enjoy many rounds of fabulous golf in heaven!

Ruth and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.  Mr. Maitland was not only the best teacher I ever experienced but also personally influencial.  He cared about all his students and took personal time to reach us all.  I tried referring to him as John, but respect didn't allow anything except Mr.; that pretty much says it all.

My deepest condolences to the family of John Maitland. He was my wrestling coach during 1964-1966. I learned so much by his example and coaching. May you be comforted by your memories and his legacy.

Anne & Family,
My thoughts & prayers are with you all at this time of sorrow.
My deepest sympathy.

Mr. Maitland, was a good Coach & Teacher.  One of few, who treated Wrestlers & Students with respect. A few of the things he taught us literally saved lives.  Mike Steinmetz Indian Wells Valley, Ca.
