John J. Kammerer passed away on October 25, 2007 at his home, surrounded by his family, after a long illness. Born on February 23, 1921 in New York City, he was a 54 year resident of Winters.

He settled in California after the war and completed his education at California State University, San Francisco.
In 1955 John accepted a position at Winters High School where he taught for 32 years. During his tenure, in addition to teaching, John passionately coached nearly all sports that were offered at Winters High School and served as Athletic Director.

He was honored as the Winters Youth Day Grand Marshall in 1978 and 1988, SVAL Coach of the Year in 1973 and received the Outstanding Achievement Award for Athletics in 1980 from the State of California Athletic Association.
