John Just, the son of Jacob and Frances Basgall Just, was born on Oct.
29, 1923, Belmond. He attended country schools in Plum Grove near Lake
Cornelia and then town schools in Alexander, Thornton and Sheffield,
Iowa, where he played baseball and softball.
He had to leave school after the 10th grade to help on the family farm,
where he drove a four-horse team for field work. He helped with the
thrashing, milking cows and tending to the livestock. He talked often of
his horse, Cricket, and hitching up the wagon to take the cream and eggs
to town to sell. He loved to reminisce about playing cowboy on his
horse, tell stories about his days of thrashing and stretching barbed
wire.
John was a
World War II
veteran who flew his flag proudly. He served his country from Dec. 11,
1945, until he was honorably discharged as a private first class. John
spent part of his military tenure in Okinawa.
John's military occupation was a halftrack driver. He drove his Hqs.
Btry 274th AFA, drove fire direction equipment, .50-caliber machine gun
ammunition, and carried men, equipment and supplies.
John made minor repairs to the halftrack, made daily inspections and
routine repairs to the halftrack, made daily inspections and routine
checkups and was a cannoneer. He had received commendations including
the Victory Medal and the Asiatic-Pacific Theater Ribbon. He was proud
to share about his stature of 5 feet, 5 inches and 160 pounds, and was
recognized as the situp champion of his platoon.
John was united in marriage to Amy Meyers on Sept. 18, 1949. Their
marriage was blessed in the Catholic Church on Oct. 13, 1952, by Father
Ormsby. They made their home in Belmond, where they raised seven
children. John was employed for a time with Spahn and Rose Lumber Co.
and Tomco Seed and Acco Seed companies where he was given the nick name
"Yogi." He retired in 1988 and continued to remain active doing odd jobs
mowing lawns, tilling gardens and blowing snow.
He truly loved spending time with his family and friends. He loved to
fish, listening to country music and playing his harmonica. He was an
avid sports fan and loved to watch football. He favorite teams were the
Iowa Hawkeyes and Minnesota Vikings. John truly enjoyed going to the
races and cheering for his great-grandson, Zac and the Belmond Boys.
John had a love for animals, especially horses. He loved a buggy ride on
Sunday afternoons when possible. He was very adamant about feeding his
birds and squirrels and loved to sit and watch them eat. He always had a
garden full of vegetables and a huge variety of flowers planted in the
yard. He loved to sit outside and soak up the sun and just enjoy the
day.
John was a strong and gentle man with a cunning sense of humor. He was
never afraid to show his emotions. He adored and was mutually adored by
his family and friends and never missed an opportunity to give them a
kiss and hug and tell them he loved them.
He treasured every birth as his family grew and mourned deeply for
everyone he loved and lost. He had been a member of the
VFW.
John was a lifetime member of the Catholic Church. A prayful Christian
man with a powerful belief in God. He will be remembered by all who
crossed his life journey as a man with a boundless love for others, a
warm and welcoming character who was very much "Happy Go Lucky."
