John was born on May 12, 1928 and grew up in the Langevin School District where he worked on his father's farm. He lived in Altona with his family for many years and was employed by Altona Co-op as a plumber. His family moved to Morris in 1969 where John started a partnership business, Morris Plumbing Heating. He worked until the age of 70 when he was forced to retire due to a serious accident. John was actively involved in his community and church and sat on many boards. He was instrumental in organizing the original Community in Bloom program. His passions included his love of flowers, woodworking with his children and grandchildren, and trucking with his sons. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Baptist Camp Trust Fund or a charity of your choice. A celebration of John's life will take place at Morris Emmanuel Baptist Church on Monday, February 9, 2009 at 2:00 p.m., 162 Railroad Avenue West, in Morris.
