John graduated from West De Pere High School and graduated with the class of 1968. He worked at U.S. Paper/Sonoco Paper Mill until his retirement in 2019 after 49 years.
He and his wife Connie just celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary on June 24th and his 73rd birthday on June 25th.
Preceding him in death were his parents: Shirley and Ervin; his brothers: Mark and Paul; and his mother and father-in-law: Dora and Art Forsythe.
He is survived by his wife Connie; two daughters: Misti (Chad) Wauters and their children, and Andrea Knope and her children.
