He married Joyce Van Den Heuvel on February 15, 1955 in Appleton. John and Joyce spent many great years on Mason Street in Appleton, before moving to the lake in 1990, where John enjoyed being minutes away from his great fishing spots. John was proud to serve his county in the Marine Corp., Once a Marine-always a Marine. John started Meyer Tree Service in 1963, which thrives today as Meyer Services, Inc. John enjoyed entertaining and spending time with his friends and family. He especially enjoyed fishing, hunting, reading and gambling.
