The second of 5 children, he grew up in Wrangell and graduated from Wrangell high School on May 13, 1958.

In the summer, john would go fishing on his dad’s boat to raise money for tuition but this time a whale got caught in their very expensive net. He had to cut the net, or the whale would have pulled the boat under. After that he got into Data Processing in Seattle, WA which led to employment using his computer skills.

They enjoyed attending Bible Conferences together, also traveling in their RV and visiting family and friends. John is survived by his wife Twylla at their home in St. Maries; her children Susan (Damon) Rue of California, Denise (Vincent) Trombello of Minnesota, Kristine (Johnny) Stolk of Montana; and Erik Paulsen of Washington; sister Susan M.
