John was a graduate of Msgr. Bonner High School and St. Joseph’s University. He worked at Siemens Medical Systems and was ranked as a top salesman nationally. John was a coach for over 30 years of women’s softball, St. Bernadette’s CYO sports, and Drexel Hill Little League, and also served as the Vice President of the Haverford Hawks Hockey Club and President of St. Bernadette’s CYO. John loved sports and collected memorabilia. He was known as one of the best bartenders in Delaware County. John was a friend to all he met and will be missed dearly.

It is with a heavy heart, that the Hawks announce the passing of Jerry Nyhus....brother of longtime (25+ Years) Hawks Coach Dale Nyhus. They coached together for many years at Interboro High School.

Wishing the Nyhus family best wishes during this difficult time.
