John Boots Obituary
John lived in Hawaii for over 35 years and loved the home he had there. He enjoyed working in his beautiful yard and workshop. John enjoyed sitting on his deck, feeling the ocean breeze, and grilling something delicious.
He was an avid football and basketball fan and the Green Bay Packers were his favorite team to watch
John's grandchildren were his pride and joy, and he enjoyed talking to them and hearing about their lives.
Prior to moving to Hawaii, John worked at Thilmany Paper Mill as a millwright for over 20 years. He enjoyed going to his cottage in northern Wisconsin and snowmobiling.

In addition to his parents, John was preceded in death by his grandson, Jedediah James Verstegen.

Dear Ann and Jerry,
How I remember you all so fondly from our growing up years. We had a wonderful life growing up in Little Chute. Jack, and all of you, were always such good neighbors and good folks. Remember when Jack sported a flat top (the "in" hairstyle for men in those days) when he was in his teen years?
Mary Ellen (Tiesling) Siehr phoned to tell me of Jack's passing and to share some memories of him.
I remember when the Little Chute Historical Society had a fund-raiser and it was a tour of your home on Canal Street which was gorgeously decorated for Christmas. Mary Ellen and I went to see it and marveled at its beauty. We were told then that Jack had heard about this up-coming tour (he was there while they were still getting ready for the event) and he was welcomed in to see his boyhood home.
Jerry, we sure miss you at our St. John/Little Chute High School combined reunions. Hope you come sometime.
May GOD grant you HIS comfort and HIS peace. GOD bless you all.
