As a native Chicagoan, the Windy City provided the backdrop for a 42- year career as an Architectural and Ornamental Ironworker of Local working alongside his brother, Tim Loftus.

The last days of extraordinary life were spent with the woman that he cherished, in a place that brought him joy, doing what he loved.

Donnelley and Sons, died Oct. 28 in Downers Grove, IL from heart and kidney failure exacerbated by a fall at his home. Mr.

Schwemm was born in 1934 in Barrington, IL to Earl and Eunice Schwemm, and attended Barrington High School. Mr. Schwemm graduated magna cum laude from Amherst College, Massachusetts in 1956 with a degree in religion, and attended Michigan Law School, graduating in 1959. Upon graduation, Mr. Schwemm joined the law offices of Sidley and Austin in Chicago and in particular worked on the merger of the Great Northern and Union Pacific Railroads.

Mr. Schwemm left Sidley and Austin in 1965, joining the law department of R. R. Donnelley and Sons a printing and communications company based in Chicago, IL. Mr.

Schwemm became chief counsel for RR Donnelley in 1969 at the age of 34. In 1975 Schwemm moved from RR law department to operations, being made Division Director, and was put in charge of a printing plant in Mattoon, IL to gain experience with the production side of the printing business. In 1981 Mr. Schwemm was elected the eighth president of RR Donnelley and in 1983 became only the second person outside of the Donnelley family to serve as Chairman of the Board. Mr.

Schwemm retired from RR Donnelley in 1989 for health reasons. During his chairmanship of the RR Donnelley board Schwemm also served on the boards of directors of Walgreens Company, Square Corporation, USG Corporation, and later William Blair and Company. He was also a Trustee of the Newberry Library and Northwestern University, and following a liver transplant of his own co-founded and was President Emeritus of the Illinois Chapter of the American Liver Foundation. Upon retirement John and his wife Nancy spent much of their time in Longboat Key and Sarasota, FL. To further the consideration of personal responsibility in modern life, in 1991 Schwemm established the Schwemm Fund at Amherst College to expose the campus community to scholars and public figures who have demonstrated moral purpose and particularly have acted with responsibility towards others.

Mr. Schwemm, preceded in death by his wife of 55 years Nancy (Prickett) Schwemm, is survived by daughters, Catherin Schwemm (Tim, Ventura, CA) and Kari Gies (Steve, Ashland, OR); brothers, Richard Schwemm (New London, NH) and Robert Schwemm (Lexington, KY); and grandchildren, Annie Swank, Joey Tuck, Bridget Coonan and Carrie Coonan.
