He was the second child born to William and Doris Verboon, who had recently moved from Corcoran to Hanford with their firstborn son, Billy Verboon, to begin farming the Gold Top Ranch on 12th & Flint Ave. He was followed by the birth of their third child, Carole Verboon. He passed away on Friday, Oct. 12, 2012 at home. From an early age, John, AKA "Ricky" to family and friends during his elementary days at Pioneer School, was interested in radio and television as a career. Following graduation from Hanford High school in 1966, he went to COS and majored in Radio/TV. His was the proud voice that read the Daily Bulletin over the COS speaker system from '66-'68. In 1967, he began his broadcasting career at radio station KOAD in Lemoore. In 1968, he enrolled at Fresno State College and continued his major in Radio/TV, graduating in January of 1971. He moved to Los Angeles in February, 1971, to attend REI Broadcasting School, just a couple of days before the earthquake that hit the area in Sylmar, very near where he lived. He completed his training at REI, and returned to Hanford/Tulare to begin working at KCOK in the spring of 1971. He also worked part time at KGEN and was the person who pushed the button that put KJUG on the air. Some of his on-air personality names included Radio John, Jumpin' John, Johnny Gunn, and Johnny R. In 1977, he moved back to LA to work at KUSC, a public radio station at USC, where he remained for almost 28 years as an engineer. He quickly made close friendships with his coworkers that lasted his lifetime. He appreciated their many calls, cards, and visits during his brave fight with cancer over the past 16 months. After retiring from KUSC in 2005, he began working at Canterbury Records in Pasadena, indulging his love of music. This love culminated in his collection of 4,000 CDs and LP records, of which he was very proud. He was raised in the First Presbyterian Church in Hanford, CA, and joined the Glendale Presbyterian Church, where he was an active member and deacon for many years, and was a charitable donor to many church sponsored programs. John was a "people" person, and spent much time maintaining lifelong family relationships and friendships. He thoroughly enjoyed family gatherings and was especially grateful that he was able to be part of a cousins' reunion in Bakersfield this past August. John was predeceased by his father, William Verboon in 1999.
