in O’Donnell, Texas. On June 7th, 1953, John married his life long love, Peggy Walker. The
couple had four children together. John worked for B&B Drilling for many years and because of
his job John and his family moved all over and in 1968 they made their home in Casper,
Wyoming. John was an avid fisherman and he spent most of his weekends out at Pathfinder
lake camping and trying to catch “The Big One” with his family. John had another love; his little
poodle Chip. Wherever John was, Chip was too. The two were inseparable. John was also a
jack of all trades; he would weld and make beautiful cowboys and horses out of old horseshoes,
he would make wonderful birdhouses out of some wood and a couple of license plates, or any
other handy work his wife or kids needed. Words cannot describe the impact he made on so
many lives, all of his friends and family loved him dearly.

and Margaret. Seven grandchildren: Jason Moyer, Justin Moyer, James Moyer, Michael Moyer,

missed, though happily remembered.
