Death of Former Faculty Member John McLeod

We are sad to share that former OWU faculty member John McLeod died March 28 at his home in Missouri. He was 73.

John served as a faculty member in the Department of Music Department from 1974-1979. When he left Ohio Wesleyan, he joined the Music Department at the University of Missouri, where he remained until his retirement in 2007.

A talented violinist, John gave recitals for many years with his father, a pianist, accompanying him. John was a member of the Missouri String Teachers Association, and he received the organization’s Artist Teacher Award in 1996 and its Collegiate Educator Award in 2006.

John’s family describes John as “quiet but thoughtful, always kind and generous.” Here is a link to John’s complete obituary. Our sincere condolences to his wife, Marilyn, and all of his family and friends.
