John married the love of his life, Anita (Korish) Mason on June 7, 1969. John was a loving, kind, generous and giving man who always put others first. John had a lifelong career in education.

During this time, he also enjoyed coaching Legion and Youth baseball. He went on to serve as superintendent of the Herman School District until 2016. John always made himself visible to every child and wanted them to be successful. He was a mentor to so many students and cared for their well-being. He would greet the children by name as they exited off the busses and would not enter school until the last child had done so. His care and concern for others always showed through his actions.

John also took delight in cheering on the Wisconsin sports teams. He would always be the first one to arrive at a Brewer game so therefore he could be the first one out of the stadium parking lot.
