On March 15, 1974 John married the love of his life, Valerie Sandbulte, at Carmel, IA. They moved to Pipestone, Minnesota, where John worked for SW Minnesota Coop Electric until August 1979. The couple then moved to Rock Valley to work for IPS, which is now Mid American Energy. John retired in August 2006 because of his disability. As his Alzheimer’s progressed, he was moved to the Good Samaritan Nursing Home in George, IA in June 2012. In October 2012, John moved to Whispering Heights in Rock Valley where he lived out the rest of his days. John was a member of Trinity Christian Reformed Church, where he served as a deacon.
