Dr. Bator was my advisor at KSU. He was an awesome teacher that gave me some jewels on how to teach art which I was grateful for when I started teaching. He was really down to earth and I loved his sarcastic approach to students in class. I still have the first painting he taught me how to do despite I wasn't actually enrolled in his class. He was a great person and his light will be missed.

John and I were serigraphy students of Prof. Lawrence Rugolo at MU in the 1980s. John was a master of the medium, an intriguing artist, and a great studio-mate, courteous, kind, thoughtful. Several of his serigraphs are included in a show opening this Thursday in the Art Department's Bingham Gallery. John's print, "Miss You," is the image that was selected to publicize the show, which features more of his work than that of any other artist.

My name is Donna Carter I was the admin for the division of Fine Arts which consisted of the art Department and at one point in time he was my boss, I enjoyed working with John. He was a jewel when it comes to art. I am so sorry for your loss.

This is a newspaper article from 2013. Perfect picture of John in front of his work.

John was a wonderful teacher and a very talented artist. He was also a wonderful father to his daughter, Claudia Janine Murphy. I am not understanding how she could be left out of his obituary.
