I had Mr. Reddy at LHS.Even though I was terrible at Chemistry and he gave me benevolent D so I wouldn’t fail. He was a great teacher and those that had him had a wonderful teacher and an even better person. He will be missed
To the family of Mr Reddy,
Please accept my deepest sympathies on your loss. Mr Reddy was my physics teacher at Lorain High School 43 years ago. His passion for learning was infectious. I entered his class not really interested in the subject but left with a strong interest in it. More than the subject matter, Mr Reddy taught the concepts of curiosity and critical thinking which I embraced throughout my life. He made a profound impact on my education
Sincerely
Brian Bastock
Mr. Reddy was one of those rare teachers from whom it was a pleasure to learn -- even if chemistry was not your best subject. 38+ years after graduation, my friends and I from LC still remember him with much affection. God Bless Mr. Reddy and his family.

I was very happy when John joined the teaching staff at Lorain Catholic. We always had interesting discussions and he was a positive influence on his students. I never knew he also went by the name, Jack!!
I am sorry to hear about his passing. May the memories of John and the prayers of those who are thinking of his family, bring comfort to all at this difficult time.
