John Franklin Marlin, Casper, WY -  passed away May 16th, 2020.  John was born June 22, 1933 in Rocky Ford, Colorado to James W. & Rachel Iva (Billingsley) Marlin.

John proudly served in the United States Army on active duty from February 1953 to February 1956.  He was mostly stationed in Japan and South Korea during this time.  Once released from active duty, he was transferred to the Army Reserves and was honorably discharged on the 15th day of March, 1961.

He was a hard worker who held jobs ranging from cow puncher, to an electrical lineman, to supervisor of microwave maintainers for Western Union.  His position with Western Union required lots of travel and relocation of family numerous times over the years.
