John was a member of Cornerstone Lutheran Church in Argyle. He proudly served on the town of Argyle board for 52 years and drove school bus for the Argyle School District for 42 years finally giving that up when he was 84. John dedicated all his working years to the farm - sometimes walking on crutches to milk the cows. He gave the farm everything he had, consistently putting in a hard day's work and instilling the hard work mentality to his entire family. When he was able to get away from the farm, John and JoAnne loved to take spur of the moment trips across the country. He cherished the time he spent with his family creating memories they will all remember forever. A private family burial will be held in Woodlawn Cemetery. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. The Erickson Funeral Home in Argyle is serving the family. Online condolences may be expressed to the family at www.ericksonfuneralhome.com. For those who prefer, a memorial fund has been established in John's name.
