Johann "John" Rumpf
October 31, 1928 — May 9, 2024
Kettering
John came to this country from Austria in 1960 and pursued a lifelong career in toolmaking. He & Anna were charter members of Liederkrantz-Turner German club; they performed with the dance troupe, & he sang in the men's choir until recently. After retirement, John was a highly valued member of Wright Patterson Air Force Museum's Restoration team. For 27 years he worked twice weekly on many historic planes including the Memphis Belle & earned the museum's coveted title "Volunteer of the Year;" he was honored to wear the accompanying red jacket to every annual Volunteer Appreciation dinner for years afterward.
John was a member of Queen of Martyrs parish in Dayton for 46 years & sang in the choir until he moved to Kettering. He was an avid cyclist well into his nineties and made many new friends along the bikeway. He loved family dinners & enjoyed his great-grand children, separated in age from the youngest by almost a century. He led a busy life until the end and will be sorely missed by so many.
Visitation will be held on Wednesday, May 29th from 5 -7 pm at Newcomer funeral home in Kettering. A funeral mass will be held on Thursday May 30 at 12 noon at St Albert the Great Church in Kettering.
