		He moved his parents to Black River Falls, WI in the early 1940's then joined the Army during WWII serving in England and Europe.
He returned to the Black River Falls area after the war. He met and married Elda Zillmer in April of 1948. They then lived their entire married life in Eau Claire until her death in 1994.

He worked at Presto and as an over the road trucker the first years of marriage. He was hired by N.S.P. and spent the next 34 years working for them, retiring at the age of 62.

John was a great baseball and football fan all his life, coaching little league at Robbins School and active with the Boy Scouts with his son Kenneth. After retirement he enjoyed going to auctions, flea markets and antique shows with his son David. The yearly vacation was always a highlight for him; he loved to travel across the U.S. with David.
