John grew up in Racine, WI, and was a graduate of Park High School. John proudly served his country in the United States Air Force as an MP. Until the time of his retirement, John for many years was employed by Walker Forge in Racine. He then continued to work at their Clintonville, WI location as a Product Manager.
John's journey on earth was marked by family, love, and adventure. John enjoyed mornings at the tennis court, long hikes, and motorcycle rides in the desert mountains.
