I was terribly saddened to hear of John's passing. He and Barbara were probably two of the most responsible for everyone else's health and well-being in all of Dodge County!!--Will totally miss his stories & sharing of his entertaining Norwegian jokes!!--So happy that he and Barb and so many others who helped build Marsh Haven Nature Center, will be together-
keeping an eye on us and the 'Center"!!-down here!!-!?-))-/(((-!!!

John & Barb were some of our dearest friends. They cared about people and always asked how we were, and how are things at Marsh Haven Nature Center. Larry gave Barb her first owl to rehab, and you all know the rest of that story. We would stop in and visit with John whenever we traveled back to WI. He did have so many stories and we were thankful that he shared them with us. He missed Barb so very much, and now they can be together again. We love you John and will miss our visits. Larry and Sandy Vine

I only met John a couple of times but I was and still am so very impressed by all his work and years of service. Condolences to all John's family and friends.
