He joined the United States Army and served from October of 1962 until January of 1965. He often talked with his nieces and nephews of his time in the service. After returning home he worked for Younkers, Kohls, and Burlington Coat Factory in Des Moines. John moved back to Milo in 1998 where he was very involved with his church. His nieces and nephews remember him playing baseball and running races against them when they were children. He was very fast and quite a good hitter in baseball. He loved being a fan of the Chicago Cubs and the Iowa Hawkeyes. He enjoyed studying the stats of all the players and could remember everything he read about them. John liked to read and to share his knowledge of his family and Milo community. John passed away April 20th 2018 at the Indianola Good Samaritan Center at the age of 81 years. Preceding him in death were his parents: Otto and Mary; and his siblings: Floyd Wadle, Milda Wadle, Ruth Wadle, and Mary Buckalew. He will be greatly missed by his brother Gerald G.
