John was united in marriage to Georgiana Fellows on April 10, 1976, in Springfield, MO. He retired from Texaco after 36 years of service. He enjoyed reading, landscaping his yard, listening to gospel music and watching the Kansas Jayhawks play basketball. John always put a smile on everyone's face with his great sense of humor.

He was preceded in death by two sisters, Catherine Sullivan and Louise Lewis. He is survived by his loving wife Georgiana, son & daughter-in-law John Nathan and Angela, sisters Ferne Rollins, Jackie Flint, and Beulah Wright, and a host of family and friends.
