Deepest Sympathy to the entire Rankin Family. Rev Rankin was a Dear Friend of the entire Swartz family. He was always with us in time of need as the death of our grandparents, parents and uncles. He also was there for the good times such as the marriage of my Niece. He touched many lifes in California, Pa and beyond. He will be missed and remembered dearly. God Bless

John Rankin was to my wife Kathy and me a father figure, a mentor, and a friend. We knew we were always welcome in the Rankin home. Starting with the "happenings" in 1968, we became a part of the family. John's counsel and practical instruction were invaluable during my seminary years, and I will always cherish the summer we spent at the First Presbyterian Church in California in 1973.
John had a fabulous sense of humor, a love for people, and a strong sense of his calling to ministry. We will never know, till we get to heaven, how many lives he touched, through the ripples he started in the lives of so many people who learned from him to touch the lives of others. His was a life well-lived, and he has indeed left a might legacy to his children -- and to all of us who remain.
May God sustain his family during these days of sorrow, and may the multitude of good memories carry you all beyond your grief to the hope we share, the hope that carried John, the assurance that we all will be reunited.
All our love to you, Bobbie, Becky, John, Beth, Rachel, and your families.

Dear family, as we were growing up, one of my fondest memories is how we gathered on Christmas night as an extended family to celebrate and feast of course. My mom could never make it through Uncle John's grace without tears, and though we cry now for losing him, he is now celebrating with Christ and a greater extended family. We will miss him but we are grateful for his impact on our family. Love to all and see you on the 29th.

I am friends with Rev. Rankin's son, John. We both work for Gwinnett County Police Department. I did not know Rev. Rankin personally, but just by knowing his son, I know he must have been a wonderful man, pastor and father, a true testimony to God's love. I send my sincerest condolences to the family. May the Lord comfort you all.

Dear Bobbie and Family,
Bobbie, you and Pastor John enriched my life tremendously. "Pastor" is my favorite title for ministers whose lives overflow with love for others, as John's did. You and Pastor John strengthened my faith in God and provided loving friendship and encouragement. Citing all the times you came to my aid would take too much space. So, I'll mention only one: when three very discouraged nursing students called John (myself, another from Mount Prospect, and another whom John had never seen). As we passed the phone from one to another, we could only cry incoherently. Finally, when the phone returned to me, I blurted out that we needed help. Pastor John helped me express our concerns more coherently and, somehow, managed to see us within a couple of days. (He offered to come that night if need be, during what I later learned was an exceptionally full week for even him.) Without John's counsel and encouragement, three student nurses might have quit that week.
As well, Pastor John was always there when my family needed him, long after he left Mount Prospect.
Bobbie, I will always be grateful that you and John and your children have been part of my life. I rejoice in John's life and rejoice for him that he is now with God. Even so, I miss knowing that he is on this earth; and I pray that God is bringing you comfort and joy as you grieve.
With much love,
Anita Cowden

Mrs.Rankin and family,
We are very sorry about the loss of Reverend Rankin. He was a dedicated minister and good friend to so many. We considered him part of the family before we became a family. He performed the funeral service for Grandma (Jennie Sungala) who had been a long time member with FPC of California. We were married there by Reverend Rankin and our children were both baptized by him. Our family history(and undoubtedly many others') would not be complete without reference to Reverend Rankin. Thank you all so much for sharing him for so long. Our prayers are with you all.
God Bless you.

On my fridge next to pictures of my Baba and Gram is a picture of the Rev in the safari jeep taken at VBS 2005.
February 15th was the last time we spoke. He told me he loved me, and I the same, and little Anna said, "I love Reverend Rankin too!". I could hear his heart melt, and I gave the phone to Anna. I could hear the smooches he was giving her.
We love the Rev so much. And it's still hard to believe he's gone. I will miss our late night conversations; I already do.
Thank you Rankin family, for sharing this one-of-a-kind man with the world. Our love and prayers are with all of you; Mrs. Rankin, Becky, John, Beth, Rachel, and the grandkids. We grieve with you.

Rev. Rankin played a major part in my family for many, many years. I have many fond memories of Christmas Eve services with Rev. Rankin potraying a different character from Bethlehem every year. As a young child, I always wanted to stand next to him and hold his hand for final prayer at the end of a Sunday service. I always felt proud and blessed to be standing there. Rev. Rankin will be greatly missed, yet the impact he made on so many lives will always be remembered.

Barbara and family, know that we are keeping you all in our hearts and prayers. John was an amazing man who had such a profound way about him in all he did. He was so proud of you, his family, and he always spoke highly and lovingly about your accomplishments. He touched our family in so many ways. He married Sherrill and I at my Dad's bedside, and for the last fourteen days of my Dad's life, John came to the hospital every night at 11PM to have prayer with us and he had a prayer service in the funeral home the night before my Dad's Catholic funeral. He baptized our children, he presided at my Mom's funeral. He was a frequent welcome guest in our home and we consumed countless pots of coffee while we talked. So many times on Sunday mornings as we left First Presbyterian Church I felt that thru God, John had known what may have been on my mind or in my heart and that in his sermon he was talking directly to me - he always had the exact words that I needed to hear. When our son was hospitalized at age 3 with diabetes, John visited daily to pray with us. Our lives were truly blessed for having had John as a pastor and friend. He will always remain in our hearts.

I missed the contact that I had with him when he was pastor in California,Pa. I will always remember his support and help during the teachers' strike.

I still remember his smile on his face. I miss the great sense of humor and positive attitude that he has always shown to me. Since I was called as a Pastor of First Presbyterian church of California, I have met him to talk and pray together once in a while when he was healthy. He was my friend but also mentor in my ministry at the church where he had served for 29 years. I have always challenged by spiritual insight and wisdom of God in his heart. I thank God for the time I have had with The Rev. Dr. John Rankin. John, we miss you. See you there sometime in the future.

You may not remember us, but we will always remember Dr.Rankin from the years we attended California University (over 25 years ago.) Rev. Rankin was our community advisor for Alpha Phi Omega. He became more than an advisor to us, he also became a friend. He and Barbara welcomed us into their home and church. We will never forget his kindness and thoughtfulness. He set an example for each of us to follow as to what a true and faithful disciple of Christ should be(and he showed us we could still have a lot of fun while doing it!)

John wasn't just my favorite minister-he was a friend. I remember when he came to the Daisytown Church as guest speaker and moderator of the Session following Alexander Silay's accident and retirement. He had almost as much fun as we did in guiding our little congregation to finding a new pastor. I personally considered him one of the most intelligent AND diplomatic of ministers- one who was not afraid to speak his mind nor to keep it open to anything that might be new and/or better. To his family-God bless you and keep you in your grief, but remember John and his great booming laugh and know he is home at last.
