His kids called him a “Motor Grader Operator” during the years he worked road construction. Then he spent many years farming, which was his passion. After retirement he joined his wife in flea markets with antiques and collectibles. They spent many hours baking to prepare for their multiple farmers markets. He loved playing cribbage, cards and Yahtzee with
family and friends. John and Janet’s favorite entertainment was casino hopping.

Memorial contributions can be left with the family for future designation.
