    Uncle John you were the last of our parents siblings, we are deeply saddened by your passing. Our dad’s little brother always with facinating stories or debates and what a life! Veteran, world traveler, author, college professor and if I remember right one heck of a good fisherman too. We will keep Nellie (love of your life)in our hearts and prayers. RIP Johnny

  2. Marlan and Nancy Pedersen says:

    I remember Uncle John and his fishing and travel stories… John was a bit of a recluse… but very willing to share when he came to visit.
    We always thought he was bigger than life and Dad was always so proud of him.
    Marlan and I have gotten to know him and Nellie a bit the last few years…they were a perfect match. John was a mild mannered giant, soft spoken and kind…Nellie is and was his spunky spark. He will be greatly missed. His life and memory is cherished by those who knew him.
    Nellie, be kind to yourself. We are here for you.
    ❤️❤️
