John William Sterling was a well-respected man about town, confidante to Gilded Age robber barons. But he had a living arrangement 'much commented on.'
newenglandhistoricalsociety.comI don’t have live access to the latest news right now. Here’s what I can tell you based on commonly available historical records and recent public mentions:
-
There is a long-established historical figure named John William Sterling (1844–1918), a prominent Yale patron and founding partner of the law firm that became Shearman & Sterling. He passed away in 1918 in Grand Métis, Quebec, and left a substantial bequest to Yale University. If your interest was in this historical figure, I can summarize his biography and Yale donations in more detail and point you to primary sources.[2][6]
-
There is also a contemporary John Sterling who is a well-known American sportscaster (John Sterling, born 1938 as Sloss) who passed away in 2026. He was the longtime radio voice of the New York Yankees, with a career spanning several decades. If you meant this individual, I can provide a brief obituary-style summary and notable career highlights.[4]
To tailor precisely to your query, could you clarify which John William Sterling you’re asking about (the Yale benefactor from the late 19th/early 20th century, or a different person with a similar name), and what kind of “latest news” you’re seeking (biographical updates, recent articles, or archival information)?
