John was preceded in death by his beloved wife Frankie Arlene Waddle, by his son Rocky Glover, by his parents Frank and Francis Waddle, and his sister Jane Blankenbaker. Despite these losses, John continued to live a life filled with joy.

John honorably served his country in the Navy, a period he held dear. After his military service, John excelled professionally, dedicating many years as a maintenance manager.

John was a man of diverse interests. He was a 47-year member of the Moose Lodge 1757 in Sellersburg, Indiana, and found joy in simple pleasures like fishing, boating, and spending time with his family, especially his great-grandchildren.
