He was a member of the NRA. John was an avid gun collector, loved going to gun shows, watching Jeopardy and was a history buff. Christmas was never complete without watching “A Christmas Story” countless times with the soft glow of electric sex in the window (leg lamp).

He was preceded in death by his parents; father-in-law, Robert Ballwanz; and sister-in-law, Barb Ballwanz.

The funeral service will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, April 1, 2017 at Uecker-Witt Funeral Home. Cremation will follow the traditional services.



The family extends a special thank you to the doctors and staff at Froedtert CVICU for the care and compassion given to John and his family the last 10 weeks.



One last time for you John,

Sandy: (out at Lakeside Park) “Someone must of told a joke”

John: “Why?”

Sandy: “The lake is all cracked up.”

Love, Sam
