John Mountain, a resident of Albuquerque, New Mexico passed away Tuesday, July 22, 2003 at the age of 78. He is survived by his beloved spouse of 16 years, Dolores Mountain; by his brother, Fr. Joseph Mountain from Minnesota and Mary from Wisconsin; seven stepchildren, Sharon, Pam, Linda, Becky, Tom, Cindy, and Gary and their spouses and children, especially, Becky's husband, Richard; and by a number of cousins and friends. John was born and lived in southern Minnesota, where he served others for more than 50 years. John is a graduate of Marquette University and St. John's University. He served as a Pharmacist's Mate during World War II. John spent the last 29 years of his life in Albuquerque. He was a member of St. Charles Borromeo parish, a devoted subscriber to Popejoy Hall musical events, and an enthusiastic shopper. With Dolores' encouragement, John was becoming an increasingly adventurous traveler when his life changed radically after an internal spinal cord injury and a number of small strokes left him disabled and requiring total care for all of his daily needs.
