Walter John Stark, Jr., 88 years of age, of Hastings, Nebraska, (formerly of Holdrege and Loomis, Nebraska), passed away on Sunday, November 8, 2020, at the VA Nebraska – Western Iowa Health Care System in Grand Island, Nebraska. John was born July 14, 1932, in Ragan, Nebraska, the second of four children to Walter John Stark and Elsie (Murphy) Stark. He received his education from Loomis Public School, graduating from Loomis High School with the class of 1949. John then pursued higher education at Kearney State College, where he received his teaching credentials. John then taught school for a short time in Brown County and Phelps County, Nebraska, before serving his country during the Korean Conflict. John was inducted into the United States Marine Corps on September 5, 1951, serving until his honorable discharge on January 2, 1954. On January 12, 1951, he was united in marriage to Doris Lee Sprague and to this union the couple were blessed with four children: Michael, Joy, Beth, and Connie. The family made their home two miles north of Loomis, where John engaged in farming and cattle ranching for twenty-five years. John then began a career in sales with Morton Buildings from 1978 until 1985, serving as Sales Manager for the company. In 1985, John accepted a position with Hawkins Manufacturing in Holdrege as plant manager until 1990. He later retired from Machinery Auction Company based out of Crane, Missouri in 1992. Later in years, John and Doris began to make their home in Hastings to be near family.
