Wallace, of Sandusky; niece, Mary (Marsrow) Brenenan, and her family, of Shippensburg, Penn.; and nephew, Scott Marsrow, and his family, of Allen, Tex.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife of 66 years, Velda R. (Swartz) John, on Dec. 13, 2006; step-mother, Margery (Ruthsatz) John; sister, Erma (John) Marsrow; brother-in-law, Edwin Marsrow; and all of his childhood and lifetime friends.

There will be no viewing, and cremation will take place. Graveside committal services will be on Saturday, May 30, 2015 at 10:30 A.M. in Castalia Cemetery.
