He was a member of Milwood Christian Reformed Church where he was deeply involved in the Calvinist Cadet Corps for 40 years, also having served as President and Congressman of the Kalamazoo Cadet Council. John especially enjoyed taking the Cadets on canoeing and camping trips. After 28 years, John retired from the Upjohn Company in 1996 and then was a long time employee of Joldersma & Klein Funeral Home. John was also very active in the Kalamazoo Oratorio Society for many years. In addition to his parents, John is preceded in death by an infant daughter, Laurel M. and son, Daniel J. Meier.
