John married Carol A, Rabe January 30, 1968. After living for many years in coastal California they moved to Central Point, Oregon in 1995.
John worked for several large corporations before relocating to southern Oregon. But, John was most proud of his contribution to rural Oregon where he served for many years on the Oregon Connections Telecommunications Conference, Oregon Connections Telecommunications Conference, Tele-health Alliance of Oregon and Oregon Health Network.
John loved working on his home property in Central Point where he mentored several young men who are now going on to serve their communities. He was a busy hobbyist who loved wood working and leather crafts among other things.
His friends will remember him as a leader, mentor, advocate and public servant.
The family would like to thank the doctors and staff of Asante Rouge Regional Medical Center for their professionalism and skill. And a special thanks to the staff of Care Keeper Group Home in Medford for their kindness in caring for John during his final days.
