John Joseph “Dutch” Zimmer, Jr. passed on to the Lord peacefully on January 29, 
2016, at the age of 86. 

Beloved husband of the late Yvette Reinecke Zimmer for 61 years. Devoted father 
of Mark L. Zimmer (Shelly), Chris Ann Dunn (Lenny), Anita M. Zimmer, and Rhonda 
C. Zimmer (Ken). 
Adoring Grandfather of Stacey Couture and Hope Savoie (Tommy); Bruce, John and 
Travis Nunez; Bryce and Derek Maxie (Lindsay). Great Grandfather of Taylor, 
Holden, Masson, Ethan, and Ryder. 

Son of the late Winifred Stonicher Zimmer and the late John Joseph Zimmer, Sr. 

A native of New Orleans and resident in Metairie for most of his life, John was 
a long time parishioner of St. Catherine of Siena Parish, and served as 
Treasurer of the St. Vincent de Paul Society and Usher Society for many years, 
coordinator of the Monday Volunteer Group, and member of the Holy Name Society 
and Respect for Life Committee. 

John and his wife danced for over 50 years with the Zig & Zag Square Dance 
Club. John worked as an accountant for over 20 years at Radio Parts, Inc. John 
enjoyed working in his vegetable garden and woodworking. 
There were not many sports games that John missed on television; high school, 
college or professional. He was an avid Saints, Tigers, Green Wave, Pelicans 
and Cubs fan. He also enjoyed being the trip planner and tour guide for his 
travel group of friends. 

He was a kind and loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend, and he 
will be missed by those who knew and loved him.
