What an influence John Sanders had on improving NC. Frequently ran into him at Knapp Library while in law school. He who rewrote the NC Constitution whose name was on the bldg., would amble in, greet the librarian in low, deep baritone, pull a newspaper & settle in. Unsung indeed

John Sanders’ booming voice will echo through generations of North Carolina leaders who answered his call to humble service to our state. He was a mentor and a friend. And I’m forever indebted to him for sharing his time, his knowledge, and his encouragement.

Few did more over the course of their lifetime to make North Carolina a better place than John Sanders did. An incredibly generous mentor, educator, and advocate for the power of public service to better our communities. RIP.

I am so grateful for the diligent service and generous mentorship of John Sanders, truly an “unsung hero” of North Carolina as Bill Friday named him. He taught me so much about our state, our university, and the work of good stewardship and humble service.
