John Frank Juhring
March 28, 1940 - February 8, 2013
Keizer - John's family was constantly by his side after being
diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia on February 4 and passing on
February 8. John was born in Hempstead, New York, to Martha (Frank)
and Otto Juhring. He lived there until moving to California in 1946.
He was a loving Husband, Father and Grandfather and is survived by his
loving wife of 51 years, Suzette; son, John II; daughter, Lisa Marie;
daughter-in-law, Lisa E.; four grandchildren, Dustin, Dillon, Dakota,
and Grace Juhring; and sister, Lorraine Graham.
John graduated Arcadia High School, California, and served in the Navy
for six years. He met his wife, Suzette, in 1957. They were married
August 26, 1961 at Holy Angels Catholic Church in Arcadia, California.
John worked in Aerospace and the Auto Industry in Southern California
until the family moved to Dallas, Oregon, in 1976. In Dallas they
opened a 76 Gas Station and eventually John's Auto Service. John
retired in 1998 moving to Keizer in 2008 to enjoy playing golf with
his wife and son.
He enjoyed teaching choreographed ballroom. They started dancing in
1982 and teaching in 1992. They taught continually until the week
before his passing. Their club "Rounds aRe Us" has been their
extended family and continued support during his illness. He took joy
in watching dancers learn.
John had a smile that filled a room, kind and loving. He loved his
family and was very proud of the achievements of his children and
grandchildren. He will be missed by all.
