Left here to miss him are his wife of 61 years, Jocelyn; daughter Becky (Frank) Hurley of Des Moines and granddaughter Libby Hurley; son Steve of Omaha; sisters-in-law Gladys Caskey of Fremont and Jennifer Cary of Phoenix; along with many nephews, nieces and extended family.

John will be remembered as a person who never met a stranger, was pretty sure he knew everything, lived to give you a bad time, and would do all in his power to help you. He was a successful salesman for Productivity Inc. for over 30 years, making friends in the business community. All who knew him will miss his presence. A brief graveside service will be held at the Hooper Cemetery on Saturday, Aug. 30, at 10:30 a.m. followed by a Celebration of Life at First Lutheran Church in Blair at 1 p.m.

Memorials may be directed to the Blair Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad.
