John was a good caring husband and family man. He loved sports, particularly the St. Louis Cardinals and music. John loved writing and self-published four books about his life and community.
Thanks to the staff of the Eriksdale Personal Care Home for their care and kindness. It was deeply appreciated.

Condolences & Memories (6 entries)

  • I had the pleasure to get to know John when I was the rural reporter at the Free Press. He had many interests and was ever curious. I thoroughly enjoyed his self-published books about the Interlake. He really filled a void. He also gave me many topics to write about. My condolences to family members. - Posted by: Bill Redekop (friend) on: Mar 22, 2020
