Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15, at St. Philomena Catholic Church, Selfridge, with the Rev. Bill Cosgrove as celebrant.

Johnny was born June 5, 1921, to Joseph and Susanna (Harsche) Gross, on a farm near St. Gertrude's, known as the "Fisher place". Later, the family moved to a farm 11½ miles southwest of Shields. The farm was in the Wade School District, where Johnny received his eight years of education. In 1937, he entered the CCC. He was too young to join, so he gave his older sister's age to qualify. He was 14½ when he was sent to Camp Lesinbe in Norfolk, Calif., to build roads. In Wyoming, he built dams and in Minnesota he planted trees. In September 1942, he was drafted into the U.S. Air Force, where he served for 3½ years. In 11 months, he was promoted to sergeant, and then to bomb specialist. He was made foreman for 32 months until they abandoned the Bombadere School located in Big Springs, Texas. He was then shipped to Greensboro, N.C., and from there on to New Orleans, La., and Howard Field, Panama. He returned to Colon, Panama, to prepare for discharge. The last day in Panama, it was 120 degrees above. He arrived four days later at Camp McCoy, Wis., where it was 46 degrees below - the suntans left in a hurry! He was discharged from the Air Force on Jan. 29, 1946. On May 17, 1948, Johnny married Dolores Flohr at St. John's Catholic Church in New Leipzig. Johnny and Dolores lived their entire married life on the farm and ranch 5½ miles northeast of Shields. Johnny also worked for the railroad as a section foreman. He was employed with Milwaukee Railroad and then with BNSF Railroad for many years. He retired in 1988. Johnny belonged to the American Legion Post 264 of Selfridge. Johnny and Dolores loved square dancing. They were members of the Double SS Square Dancing Club of Shields. He also sang in the church choir at St. Gabriel's Church in Shields. He had great passions for the ranch, horses and his dogs. Johnny was very proud of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Johnny is survived by his wife, Dolores; three daughters and two sons-in-law, Kathleen (Victor) Kraft, Selfridge, Karen (Kirby) Reynolds, New Town, and Judy Gross, Bismarck; two sons and daughters-in-law, James (Mary Ann) Gross, Litchville, and Ronald (Glenda) Gross, Shields; five grandchildren, Shane Kraft, Bismarck, Toby and Jade Gross, Bismarck, Rick Gross, Shields, and Jeannie and Joe Gross, Bismarck; two great-grandchildren, Taye and Asiah Gross; five step-grandchildren, Kirby Reynolds Jr., Brooks Reynolds, Kim Reynolds, Kilreen Reynolds and Kerry Reynolds; 21 step-great-grandchildren; one special step-great-grandson, Kilby Reynolds, New Town; three brothers, Bert and George Gross, both of Mandan, and Adolph Gross, Bismarck; five sisters, Helen McNamee, Park City, Mont., Barbara Turgeon, Marie Kraft and Susan Jueth, all of Bismarck, and Katherine Duma, Hazen; and many nieces and nephews.
