John Taphorn

The St. Albert family is very sorry to see the way too early passing of John Taphorn after a tough battle with cancer. John is the husband of 1990 St. Albert graduate, Sheila McGinn.  Please keep, Sheila and her three children in your prayers this week and please now join in the praying for the repose of John's soul...

Eternal rest grant unto John O Lord: And let perpetual light shine upon him.

May John rest in peace. Amen

May John's soul and the souls of all the faithfully departed through the mercy of God our Father rest in peace. Amen

(Makela) Taphorn of Whitefish Bay, WI. He is further survived by aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and a large extended family.
