John Sattler

John K Sattler went home to the Lord Tuesday August 24, 2021 after a five year battle with cancer. John was born June 1, 1937 in Danville, Illinois and was the youngest of 4 children. He often spoke of his wonderful outdoorsy childhood filled with friends, good hunting dogs, and family. John graduated from Ogden HS in 1955 with a class of 15 students. He attended Eastern Illinois University where he studied physics. John joined the US Army soon after and quickly rose to the rank of E-5. This experience and his cryptology/telecom skills led to a 35 year career with the National Security Agency. John was a patriot and extremely proud of his work with the NSA. He spent much of his career working in South East Asia and Europe. After retirement John filled his days with fishing, gardening, and the constant filling of his bird feeders.
