John, 96, passed away on January 23, 2021, at the Memory Care unit of Edgewood Vista in Virginia, MN.
When John was 16 years old, he talked his Dad into signing for him to join the United States Marines.
After returning to the USA, he went to his home in Missouri, and then off on another adventure ending up in Rawlins , Wyoming, working for the Union Pacific Railroad as a Fireman. It was there that he met the love of his life Margaret who was the Train Master’s secretary.
There will be no service at this time, but a family memorial during the summer is planned.
DAD, YOUR GUIDING HANDS ON OUR SHOULDERS SHALL REMAIN WITH US FOREVER.
