John Rose
December 16, 1929 — May 24, 2025
John was a member of Edison Park Lutheran Church for 39 years. He worked for Hammond Organ Company and the American Hospital Association. He was a talented wooden toy and sign maker, known as the "Wooden Thumb". He loved to bowl and doted on his granddaughters. In retirement, John enjoyed a family vacation to Hawaii, was an avid coin collector, loved to ride his scooter, and took an interest in pop-up cards. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Edison Park Lutheran Church Property Committee would be appreciated.
