Dr. John George Trump died in Boston, MA at the age of 77 on February 21, 1985. Just six days later, President Ronald Reagan posthumously bestowed the President's National Medal of Science upon him.

Trump survived his beloved wife, Elora, by two years and diligently continued his research until the end of his life

His former business associate, Denis M. Robinson, wrote a beautiful obituary for John Trump and described him as being \"remarkably even-tempered, with kindness and consideration to all, never threatening or arrogant in manner, even when under high stress.\"

Dr. John George Trump certainly left his stamp on the world and many of his research practices and innovations are still being used today.
