John Shuler was a mentor and friend. At the NIDL meeting in May, John referred to government information librarians as family. I feel like John was not only a family member, but a patriarch of the community. In the ten years Iâ??ve been in the government information community, I always looked forward to working with John. He ignited a passion for the profession in me and inspired my work locally and nationally. He preached the gospel of government information: synthesizing what was most important about what we do and how we can meet the changing world of civics and librarianship. At that last meeting, John had renewed energy and a positive outlook personally and professionally. I will treasure that memory of him. He will be greatly missed.

John was a professor of mine about 5 years ago and I also thought of him as a trusted mentor. I will continue to be inspired by the memories of his passion and dedication to the next generation of government information professionals. I am saddened the world has lost a genuine, sincere, bold, yet honest and kind visionary.
