John enlisted prior to World War II in the Army Air Corps and was assigned to the 8th Air Force stationed in Burtonwood, England soon after the outbreak of war. Here he was to meet his future wife, Jean Lomax. John was a self-educated man who excelled in his chosen field of electroplating. He was a long time member of the American Legion, VFW and the Fraternal Order of Masons and participated in several volunteer activities through these and other organizations. John was preceded in death by his parents, Maximillian and Elisabeth; three brothers, Maximillian, George and Peter; seven sisters, Marie, Lydia (Lee), Kathryn, Kathryn Amelia (Molly), Ruth, Florence and Doris (Dorothy); and two grandsons, Daniel and David. Survivors include wife Jean of Traverse City, MI; sisters, Elisabeth and Frieda of New Jersey, and Emma of North Carolina; sons Conrad and daughter-in-law Vivien of Beulah, MI, John and daughter-in-law, Maria of El Granada, CA; grandchildren, Jason Miller of Santa Barbara, Ca, Christina Miller of Half Moon Bay, CA, Jennifer Lee and her husband Bruce of Maple City, MI, Carolyn Felknor and her husband Danniel of Lafayette, Co, Stefanie Simmons and her husband Matthew of Ann Arbor, MI; and great-grandchildren, Carter Conrad Lee, Jessica Jean Lee, Jacob Reed Felknor and Lauren Elizabeth Felknor. A family memorial service is planned and will be held at a later date with internment at a Veterans National Cemetery to be determined. It is appropriate that any contributions in his memory be made to any group supporting veterans and their families. While we honor John for many things, we especially thank him for his legacy stressing the importance of education and lifelong learning. This legacy has and will continue to have a profound impact on his children and their children's children. Thank you, Dad. Rest in peace.
