  John gave his time serving several years as a board member and treasurer for APCL and as a vision screener for the Iowa Lions Kidsight Program.  He personally screened over 7,000 preschool children.

  He loved the outdoors and was an avid camper. He raced sailboats for over 50 years and spent all but two summers of his life at Clear Lake.

  Because of COVID concerns, he requested a private graveside inurnment with no visitation.  Cards and messages will be treasured and those who wish are invited to send a memorial to either Clear Lake/Ventura Food Pantry or Mason City Noon Lions Club project fund

  He died as he lived – hand on the helm, eyes on the lake, family at his side.
