APSE Mourns a Friend and Leader
It is with a very sad heart that we inform you that John Nietupski, 58, a wonderful person, loving husband, father and friend, died Wednesday, November 19th, 2008. While all lives end too early, John filled every minute of his life by bringing laughter and joy to all the people he touched with his smile and positive attitude.
John's early career included positions as a professor of special education at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the University of Northern Iowa. Since 1997, John worked with Grant Wood Area Education Agency (GWAEA) as a grant writer and resource development specialist. Through his work at GWAEA, John created Career Connections. The U.S. Department of Education-funded transition program began in 2001 in six school districts with the mission of assisting young s with disabilities in obtaining jobs of interest to them after graduating from high school. Currently Career Connections is in 27 school districts and helping more than 70 students each year.
John's loss will be felt by all. He was a born leader in the field and a friend to APSE. He will be greatly missed.
Funeral services and burial will be held at a later date in John's beloved state of Wisconsin in Janesville. Information on services, a Memorial Fund, his obituary and an opportunity to share condolences can be accessed at http://gayandciha.com/CurrentService.php. Condolences can also be sent to Sue and Christopher Nietupski, 135 N. Westminster St., Iowa City, IA 52245.
