A member of the Greatest Generation, John proudly served in the U.S. Navy as a Fire Controlman Third Class on an LST ship in the Pacific during World War II. Later while on leave in Washington, D.C., he met Beatrice. When they married, they moved to Jumping Branch, West Virginia, to help operate Beatrice’s family mercantile store. Later, he worked as a telegrapher from 1950 to 1958 for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad in small train stations all over Southern West Virginia.

In the late 1950’s he began working at the Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corporation in Ravenswood, West Virginia, where the family later relocated. He and Beatrice and family were members of Calvary Baptist Church and later the Second Baptist Church in Ravenswood. He and Beatrice worked hard and made sure all their children were able to graduate from college.

Not long after Beatrice passed away in 2007, John moved to live with Virginia and Alan Baldwin in Chapel Hill, Tennessee. Virginia and Alan became his loving caretakers as he suffered several serious health problems. He shared many happy vacations with his children over those years, camping trips and vacations in Washington, D.C., San Antonio; Santa Fe; Las Vegas; Phoenix; Chattanooga; Nashville; and Memphis.

This year in May, John moved to Spokane, Washington, with Virginia and Alan due to their job relocation. He suffered a broken hip in early May, but he had learned to walk again by . John was amazingly resilient; the family referred to him as the Energizer Bunny. He enjoyed his final days at the Baldwin’s mountaintop home outside Spokane.

John was a lover of trains. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening, and walking on the Florida beaches. He was a kind and generous man and will be remembered by his family for his quiet nature, his great sense of humor, and his love of family and of the Lord.
