John loved spending time with his family and watching the kids participate in a variety of sports, in different drama productions, in choir and band concerts. He enjoyed fishing, going to garage sales, eating out, going golfing, collecting and organizing his football cards, and of course, watching his Huskers play – either live or one of the old classic games. Besides his family, he loved being a Lutheran school principal. He loved seeing the kids every day and sharing the great message he gave daily about Jesus. He knew his calling was to share Jesus with children and friends. His goal was to build Central into an amazing school with a great new gym and area for the students to be able to gather.
