John K. Bade

I well remember the numerous times John and I worked together to provide equipment for the grad school labs which he so diligently and capably supported. My deepest feelings of condolence are extended to his family.. - Steve Willadsen (retired UW purchasing agent)

So many memories of John! He made a huge impression on my life and taught me oh so many life lessons! I will never forget the infamous John K Bade! RIP buddy!

John's incredibly generous spirit made a huge difference to me, and to so many people who came through Bock Labs as students, staff or faculty. He looked for the best in people and focused on the positive qualities he found. John's support, and his ability to see and encourage a person's strengths, is a gift that carries on throughout the years. My life is better and happier because he was a friend of mine. - Petra

My time working at Bock Labs was greatly enhanced by having John as a supervisor, occasional life coach, and friend. I will miss his political incorrectness and robust laugh. The days of turning in scrap metal including brass urinal valves for pizza and beer money are gone...just like my friend. I will miss him greatly. Bye, Infamous One.
