John was born November 12, 1931 in Council Bluffs, Iowa. In August, 1949, he enlisted into the Coast Guard and was stationed in Fresno, Calif., serving eight years, ending in August, 1957.
In October, 1964, he was hired at Maywood, Incorporated in Amarillo. He worked there until he retired in November, 1996 after 32 years with the company. It was here that he met Marelda Still in 1976. He married Marelda in Amarillo, June 18, 1977.
John was a great family-man and a loving stepfather. He was a social, active man who was deeply involved with his family his whole life. His friends will always remember him as a kind, patient, caring and friendly person. His family regarded him as a selfless, godly man. This was shown in the way he took care of Marelda over the past 15 years as her health steadily declined. He will be deeply missed.
