John Schwartz Date of Birth: April 16, 1952 Position: Bond Broker For my dear husband John, After we got married, he told me that since the first time we held hands he got the feeling that he would marry me, and even though he loved me already, his love grew bigger. During our relationship we learned a lot from each other, from our differences. John taught me an appreciation for beauty and the arts, and he gave me a good life. I am very grateful for the time that he shared with me and for leaving me with so many wonderful memories that will always be with me. My love for John grew bigger over the time, and many times I told him how much I loved him. Sometimes he wanted me to say it again and again, because he was afraid that I would stop loving him. Dear John, I want you to know that I never stopped loving you and I never will.

The following obituary appeared in the New York Times of September 23, 2001:
Schwartz, John Burkhart. September 11, 2001 at the World Trade Center. Beloved husband of Ching-Ping Peng, son of Marvin and Joyce S. Schwartz, of Goshen, CT and Manhattan, brother of Daniel B. Schwartz, of Phoenix, AZ and of Pamela L. Pier of Acampo, CA and uncle of Arianna and Aisha P{ier and Morgan and David Schwartz.
Stricken down in his 49th year, his love of music, the fine arts and all that was beautiful and elegant was intense, passionate and ever-growing.
A Memorial Service will be held at Congregation Emanu-el, Fifth Avenue and 65th Strteet on Thursday, October 4 at 2:45 PM.
John graduated from Vassar College in 1975, with majors in Medieval Studies and English. After a year at Cornell University in a graduate program in Medieval English Literature, he entered the Graduate School of Business at Columbia University, where he was awarded an MBA in Marketing in 1978.
John was truly devoted to Vassar.
His family and generous friends have established at Vassar in his memory The John B. Schwartz ’75 Endowed Travel Fund for Medieval Studies.
Sir….I read your name at the Memorial Service this year. Seeing your face makes me feel prouder and more determined to speak the words “NEVER FORGET”. Peace to your wife, and your family. Most sincerely yours. Deborah A. Sammut
John was an incredible musician. That’s how I knew him at Vassar. We ran into each other on the UWS when I picked up my daughter at her preschool which was near his home. In June of 2001 we ran into John and I said we probably wouldn’t see him again since my daughter would be going to kindergarten in the fall. Her first day of kindergarten was Sept. 11, 2001. John I want you to know that I attended your memorial at Temple Emanu-el to wish you peace. Today I wish you peace on this 20th year.
