John was born on March 28 ^th , 1938 in Wabasha Minnesota. Shortly after graduating high school John moved to Alaska to work with his brothers creating their own manufacturing housing business. While working John also attended the University of Alaska where he received a bachelor's degree in accounting. It was in Fairbanks where he met his eventual wife, Sue Palzer. John and Sue soon married and gave birth to three children Mark, Paul, and Lisa. The family moved to California where John worked as an accountant for Disney. John and his family lived in California for 7 years before moving to Oklahoma. Here John would work as one of the lead accountants for a major project to build the Williams tower in Tulsa. It was the tallest building in Oklahoma at the time. John would later continue his entrepreneur mentality and venture into running his own businesses in home sales and property management. In his later years John would once again team up with his partner in crime, Anthony (Tony) Palzer. John and Tony would spend time rotating between their summer home in Port Angeles and their winter home in Rockport, Texas. Together they would tackle every project you could conceive of, all while spending time in two beautiful locations that they loved.

John is lovingly remembered as a selfless father and grandfather who continuously strove to ensure his family was well provided and cared for. Whether it was medical care or education John saw to it that his family was given opportunities. John always encouraged one to be the best version of themselves. John was truly one of a kind and will be missed.
