Four children were born to this union, Steven Michael, Randall Kenneth, Lawrence Dean, and Sharon Diane, all graduates of Iowa Falls High School. During the kids growing up years, John & Donna lived on an acreage at the edge of the Iowa River Green Belt in the house they built themselves. On weekends the large front yard would always be filled with a baseball, football or basketball game with all the neighborhood kids, with Johnny right in the middle of it all.
John & Donna spent 1975 & 1976 following Randy all over the state in football and track. He was very proud when both Steve and Larry received Presidential Scholarships to Briar Cliff College.

He also served on the Board of Directors. He was an avid golfer and shot below his age 78 years old. He enjoyed playing golf tournaments with Steve, and playing best ball with Donna.
