Dr. John Lawrence Nieman was born on 6-8-1928, the son of Christopher and Marie Nieman of Shawnee, Kansas. Due to the premature death of his mother, he was raised through his high school years by his “Mom”, Sarah Richert of Newton, Kansas.

Following his military service, he graduated from the University of Kansas as a Phi Beta Kappa and a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. He graduated from medical school at Case Western Reserve University, and following his residency he practiced Pediatric Medicine in Prairie Village and Overland Park, Kansas for forty years. After three years of additional training, he left pediatrics and began practicing Geriatric Medicine at the Leavenworth VA Medical Center for another fifteen years before retiring in 1999.
He was preceded in death by beloved wife of 46 years, Betty Jean, his parents, his brother Patrick, and his “Mom”. He is survived by three sons and a daughter, John Bruce Nieman and wife Carrie, Mark Nieman and wife Mary, Matthew Nieman and wife Rebecca, and Karen Monk and her husband John, nine grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
