the construction crew he was working for, build the Julian

laborer at Palisades-Kepler State Park. John moved to the
Charles City area in 1949 when he joined the construction
maintenance team at Oliver Corporation (currently known as White
Farm) and retired from his position in 1976. John took great
pride in providing for his family as he was also an accomplished
self-employed cement finisher and bricklayer.
John lovingly treasured the time he spent with his family and
friends. He was a member of St. John Evangelical Lutheran
Church, a member of the United Auto Workers Union and belonged
to the Eagles in Dubuque. He found great pleasure in traveling
extensively with Dorothy on vacation bus trips, daily card games
of two-handed ã500,ä tending to his pet cat, Bud, socializing
with friends and bowling in his earlier years. John had a great
passion for spending as much time as possible outdoors and
enjoyed vegetable gardening and meticulously grooming his lawn
and home.
John will be missed dearly by all who have shared in his life.

Judy Hickle and her husband, Gary of Floyd; his son, John
