Watch John preach what he practices (WMV).
Memorial
Memory of his leadership and advocacy are only surpassed by memory of his kindness, sense of humor, and enormous spirit. We lost our brother John from an inoperable brain tumor soon after his diagnosis in early 2015. The Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution honoring his memory and tremendous work in April 2015 and a ceremony dedicating a conference room in his honor at his primary worksite on North Fourth Street in Ann Arbor was attended by many in April 2016.
The loss of Mr. Loring as a husband, father, brother, friend, colleague, and dedicated advocate is felt across all of Washtenaw County. Using his personal mantra of “Always looking forward” honors the life of John Loring for his commitment to the greater good, his illumination of the value of dedication and service to the community, and his lasting impact on all who knew him.
