After spending his first few years in Little Falls, John and his family moved to Ilion in 1920 where his father Frederick became employed by the Remington Typewriter Company as Employment Manager and several years later as Assistant Factory Manager. John and his family resided at three different locations in Ilion, 41 2nd Avenue, 78 N. 3rd Avenue and finally at 109 N. 4th Avenue. He and his brother attended Ilion public schools starting with the West Hill School and finally Ilion High School. John attended Ilion High School until completing his junior year in 1934. John was active with high school activities including playing varsity football as a running back. During his youth, John worked summers as a survey crew member to his late grandfather Hans (John) Otto Bernhardt von Koetteritz, civil engineer and surveyor, of Little Falls, NY. J. B. von Koetteritz had been the Chief Engineer for the New York State Forest Commission and was commissioned by the State of New York to perform the first survey and mapping of the Adirondack Mountains. In 1933 John's brother was stricken with tuberculosis and in 1934 was moved to reside at the Trudeau Sanatorium in Saranac Lake, NY, for the treatment of tuberculosis. John and his family moved to Saranac Lake, NY, to be close to his brother. Frederick William died in 1939. John attended Syracuse University and afterwards gained employment with the Bethlehem Steel Corporation in Bethlehem, PA. John worked for Bethlehem Steel as a combustion engineer in their blast furnace division for more than 35 years. In 1948 John married Antoinette H.

As his children grew up, whenever John wasn't at work he was home with his family, playing football (quarterback) in the yard almost every evening or partaking in some other family adventure. John rarely had to open his car door when he pulled in the driveway after work as he had five ambassadors waiting there to do it for him! John and Antoinette have also been blessed with twenty grandchildren. Following retirement from the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, John worked as an independent engineering consultant traveling all over the world, as a civil engineering consultant for his son William J. Koetteritz at H. K. Dodge Associates, Inc. of Framingham, MA, and as a business associate with his son Frederick W. Koetteritz of Kodi Sports in Dillon, CO.

John loved the outdoors and spent considerable time throughout his life hiking, camping and skiing in the wilderness of the Adirondack Mountains. For many years John would return to the Adirondack Park to spend his annual vacations with Antoinette and his children, in whom he instilled his love for the outdoors and its associated activities. John also loved the Mohawk Valley and would often travel back to Ilion and Little Falls to visit old friends and classmates. As an avid skier, John skied until he was 88-years old. His wife, Antoinette, and several of his children still ski! John was a Christian and strong believer in God and his Word, and was always a spiritual inspiration to his wife, his children and those close to him. Donations in honor of John A.
