They also visited Mexico and Canada. This wanderlust instilled similar aspirations in two of his sons, with Ronald and John making numerous trips to Europe and Asia between them. Don's love of travel was undoubtedly inspired by his lifelong love of cars and their history, symbolized by his prized collection of over 300 1/24-scale die cast vintage automobiles. He also enjoyed big-band music, his favorites being the Glenn Miller Orchestra, the Dorsey Brothers, Benny Goodman and Les Brown. His favorite song was Brown's "Sentimental Journey," sung by Doris Day.

John proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam era. He always remained true to the values of the Corps and was never an "ex" Marine.

Perfectly utilizing his people skills and solid salesmanship, he built the Delta Group into a solid entity. Looking forward to enjoying retirement, John needed two spine surgeries, which unfortunately limited his physical abilities. John had three years of constant pain … now he has none. In life, John was always fun to be with. He gave 100 percent to every adventure, whether power boating, hunting, riding one of his several Harleys or grilling the perfect steak. He will be terribly missed by the many who knew him and loved him, and especially by his life partner of 43 years, Mary.
John was the best friend and beloved husband of Mary (nee Draws); dearest brother of James (Sharon) Oelstrom; favorite son-in-law of Marie (Al) Draws; loving uncle of Matt Oelstrom M.D., Krystal (Corey) Lorenz and Ben, Jacob and David Dougherty; special brother-in-law of Ann (Gary) Larson, John (Christine) Draws and Jane (Michael) Dougherty; and proud great-uncle of Hayden Lorenz.
