He married his high school sweetheart Diane Scroggs on October 24, 1953 and they were blessed with four children, Becky, Scott, Shelly and Jan. John's family, friends and community meant the world to him. He was a dedicated member of AA and Diane was with him as he received his 43 year chip this past March. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge for sixty years and took pride in being a member of the Gideons. His competitive spirit made the Senior Games a natural fit and he was honored to be inducted into the South Dakota Senior Olympics Hall of Fame. He proudly served as a volunteer firefighter and later delivered Meals on Wheels. John had a passion for selling cars and received many awards including the Ford 300 and 500 Club on multiple occasions…one of which took him and Diane to Hawaii in 1963. Over the years, he acted as a father figure to his siblings and was a devoted and loving husband and caregiver to his wife, Diane. He and Diane have been members of the Beresford UCC church since their wedding day and he faithfully served in many capacities.
