Hi Marge. I'm sorry to hear of John's passing. I called on John often at JCPENNEY in Oak Park Mall Austin. He was always good to do business with and I'll always appreciate him selling me the riding lawn mower I needed when I got the house with a big yard to mow. Best wishes. Gregory K Soderberg.
John was just about the best neighbor and friend one can have. He volunteered to look after our place when we went away for winter and twice saved us from big expense. You visited John and Marge to get a good laugh listening to his stories. We will miss him. Rest In Peace, John. Dich and Evelyn
John was unforgettable. He always had a story and freely voiced his opinions at Men’s Fellowship where he was a dedicated member. He will be missed.
I worked with John when we were both Store Managers in Michigan back in the late 1980’s. I began my career in Ames and we had a lot of conversations about people we both knew from there. John loved to talk business and often got into trouble in a District meeting for talking to whomever was sitting next to him. He always had a good story to tell after the meetings and was always the center of a group of us. Lots of good memories of the times we shared and laughs we had together. Rest In Peace !
John and I worked together on the JCPenney District Staff for four wonderful years. He as the District Personnel Manager and I as the District Operations Manager. He was a unique individual who enjoyed meeting, leading and helping everyone who he came in contact with.Susanne and I enjoyed socializing with John and Marge often at The Old Log Theatre.I have many great memories of the partnership John and I experienced during our years together. We have kept in contact over our years of retirement and had several terrific conversations. We will miss John's positive SPIRIT.
