Jerry myers says:
Worked with John at Zion Industries Cookie Factory in the late 1950’s. Knew his brothers and his family.
Lost contact with him after that and have wondered about him many times.
One time, the family was somewhere up in Wisconsin and their car broke down. They called me and I went and brought them back to Zion. Eight of us in a ‘55 Ford 2 door sedan…plenty crowded, four in front , four in back!
Never ever saw Donnie or Glenn again either..hope their lives turned out well.
