Previously, he held Chairs at Pennsylvania State University, Vanderbilt University, Loyola University of Chicago, and Duquesne University. John died on February 18, 2025 at the age of 86. Among his many accomplishments, he was the founding editor of the journal Research in Phenomenology, General Editor of the “Studies in Continental Thought” book series (Indiana University Press), and the author of more than 20 books. He is survived by his wife Jerri, his daughters Lauren and Kathryn, his grandson Benjamin, and his brother James.
