I knew and met your father several times at meetings of ship model collectors. I own several of his models and they are in my recent book on Naval Ship Models of World War II. I am really sad at your loss but he will be remembered in our community.

Thank you, Paul Jacobs and everyone in this family of model builders and enthusiasts. I am John’s daughter. Everyone’s kind words have touched me immensely, and I know Dad would be humbled and grateful to hear how much he meant to you and the modeling world. Thank you all, kind souls. Previous Message
I am saddened to say that John Youngerman passed away on Saturday December 11. Known to many of us, John was a collector and prolific builder of 1200/1250 scale models. Many of his models can be seen at his website Miniature Modeling which can be found by going to Collector's Links at the Home Page here.
John also provided masters to Hai and Mountford, some of which were produced and thus examples of his work, as well as many of the wood models that he custom built, are in the hands of collectors around the world.
John was a member of the Northern California Chapter of the SMSC, and we will very much miss his presence at our meetings.
