John Paul Agerter
May 1, 1934 — March 7, 2015
John Paul Agerter passed away on Saturday, March 7, 2015, in Fishers, Indiana. He was born May 1, 1934 in Youngstown, Ohio, and moved to Munster, Indiana, in 1951. He spent 12 years enjoying his retirement in Clermont, Florida.
John is survived by his wife of almost 59 years, Anita (Fowler) Agerter; son, Mark (Leslie) of Urbana, Ohio; daughter, Joy (Bill Hall) of Elgin, Illinois; son, Scot (Sandy) of Noblesville, Indiana; 11 cherished grandchildren, Erik (Christine) Grimmer, Matt (Gail) Grimmer, Jay (Tina) Grimmer, Lisa (Nick) Velarde, Mike Agerter, T.J. Agerter, Marlie Agerter, Nick Agerter, Joe (Allyson) Agerter, Dan Agerter, and Melody (Benjamin) Williams; 7 great-grandchildren, Nick Stueve, Sophie and Clayton Grimmer, Caleb and Mila Grimmer, and Scarlett and Nikko Velarde; brother and sister-in-law, Jack and Pat Fowler; sister-in-law, Judy Phillips; and beloved pet, Carmen.
John was preceded in death by his parents, John Frederick and Ruth James Agerter; son, Tim Agerter; mother and father-in-law, G.W. (Buzz) and Gretchen Fowler; and brother-in-law, John S. Phillips.
John attended Purdue University. He spent his life working in the steel industry and retired from Inland Steel (Arcelor Mittal) in 1996.
John thought of his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren as gifts from God. There was nothing more important to him than his family. He loved to golf and support his favorite college team, The Ohio State University. Because of his Ohio roots, he was a lifetime fan of the Cleveland Indians. Sports were his passion.
There will be no local visitation or service. We will honor John's wishes and celebrate his life in Columbus, Ohio at the Ohio State Spring football game. A family memorial will also be held at Union Cemetery.
John had a heart for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Memorial donations in John's memory may be made to St. Jude at 262 Danny Thomas Pl., Memphis, TN 38105-3678 or at stjude.org.
