John was born on November 15, 1923 in Randolph, MN and was the son of Frederick and Lizzette Guildner. He graduated from Randolph High School in 1940 and went on to radio engineering school in Minneapolis. In 1942 he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps where he taught radio theory, and set up radar in the South Pacific as the islands were liberated. On December 19, 1945, he was united in marriage to Mary Eileen Werrbach in Stanton, MN, and settled in Albert Lea shortly after.
John was a radio engineer in Jamestown, ND and at KATE Radio in Albert Lea. He founded Johnny's Electronics in 1950 with radio and phono services and sales, as well as introducing black and white and color TV to the area.
John was a member of Assemblies of God Church since 1946 and was very active as a teacher and board member. He thoroughly enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren, traveling to visit friends, going to the cabin, gardening, music, and especially fishing. He will be deeply missed.
