\n\t\tJohn Banker – Private Investor\n\t<\/h3>\n

\n\t\t10401 Brighton Road and 9448 Lake Shore Boulevard\n\t<\/h5>\n\t

John H. Banker was born on June 26, 1928, in Navarre, Ohio. He was introduced to the stock market as a teenager by his father, a music teacher, who traveled the circuit of one-room country schools in Stark County giving singing lessons. He scrimped to buy a forty-acre farm. The Timken Company later bought the farm and that started the elder Banker in the securities business.<\/p>\n

John H. Banker married Joan who was a successful real estate broker doing business as Banker Real Estate. During her career, she sold many homes in Bratenahl.<\/p>\n

John and Joan had three children: Valerie (Burnette), Cynthia (Willkomm) and John D. All three children attended the Bratenahl School.<\/p>\n

John inherited $200,000 in securities with the death of his father in 1952 and the death a year later of an uncle. He was the sole heir in each case.<\/p>\n

John served as a private first class with the U. S. Army in Korea. When he was discharged in 1953, he started to manage full-time his late father’s portfolio. With investments in several companies, there were not many days without a dividend check arriving. He had what amounted to his own mutual fund.<\/p>\n

John was a founding trustee of the Bratenahl School Plan Foundation which successfully funded the voluntary integration of the Bratenahl school.<\/p>\n

John Banker died on March 25, 1997, after a brief illness and is buried in West Lawn Cemetery in Canton, Ohio.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBack to People\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tResidents List\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
