John B. St. Andre, 82, Green Bay, WI., passed away May 10, 2025 after a lengthy illness. John was born September 22, 1942 in Ishpeming, MI to Joseph and Polly (Johnson) St. Andre.

John was a social studies teacher at Southwest High School for 33 years. He retired from teaching in 2003 and started his new full-time role as grandpa. John continued to take field trips with his grandchildren to pumpkin fields and apple orchards with many visits to beaches and spending time at camp in the UP. He loved being able to spend time with his children and grandchildren. While his children were growing up John was always there for them and after they were grown, he was always the most dependable dad. He enjoyed gardening, puzzles, and reading. John was an avid fan of the Packers and the Michigan Wolverines. During his retirement he took the opportunity to travel. His favorite trips were his time spent in Rome and Hilton Head Island. John became a very involved member at St. Jude Catholic Church. He was a man of strong faith and loved being able to provide Communion to those in nursing homes. John's faith and values were incredibly important; he instilled in his family the importance of taking care of each other, loving God, and giving back.
