Throughout his life John enjoyed watching Iowa Hawkeye's Football, being outside in the sunshine, grilling dinner and golfing. He spent many summer nights playing and later officiating softball games at the Hoing-Rice ball diamond complex in Waterloo. He loved music and would play his guitar and sing for his kids when they were little. As he got older he enjoyed spending his days with Nanny and their cat, Billy. John also enjoyed crossword puzzles and keeping up to date on national politics. He had a dry sense of humor but was always quick to offer a smile at any of his grandkids' silly jokes. His family lost their great story teller. Memorials may be left to the discretion of the family. Celebration Of Life Mon, Jul 8, 2019 at 1:00 pm AMVETS POST 49 1934 Irving st. Cedar Falls, IA 50613
