John Palmer

John Gordon Palmer was born in Jackson, Minnesota on April 10, 1934, the only and much loved child of George and Alice (Vacura) Palmer. After a happy farm childhood and graduation from Jackson High School, John served with the U. S. Army for three years including a stint in Korea. The army trained him as a baker and he furthered those skills at Dunwoody Institute in Minneapolis. John married Kathy Heruth in Minneapolis in 1964 and together they moved to Casper, Wyoming in 1969. Wyoming provided many memorable camping, hunting and fishing trips, but most especially the birth of their daughters, Jennifer and Stephanie. John retired from the D.J. Power Plant in 1996 and became a first-rate househusband, and learned to carve. He was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and brother-in-law, John Heruth. He is survived by his wife Kathy Palmer of Casper, Jennifer Palmer of Racine, WI, and Stephanie Palmer of Jackson Heights, NY. Also cousins, friends, and in-laws. Services will be at Christ United Methodist Church, 1868 South Poplar, Monday, March 6th at 10:30 A.M, followed by military honors at the Oregon Trail State Veterans Cemetery. In his honor, do what he did daily by telling your spouse and kids that you love them. Memorials may be made in his name to Christ United Methodist Church or a charity of your choice.
