John (Johan) was born on July 16th, 1925 to Cornelis and Jentje Van Weezep in Groningen, The Netherlands.
After a conversion to the L.D.S. faith, John immigrated to America leaving family and friends in January of 1951. In 1953 he was called to the Frankfurt, Germany Mission, where he served faithfully.
On June 25th, 1958 John married the love of his life Wilhelmina (Willy) Flink in the Salt Lake Temple and they had 48 wonderful years together. He was a very loving, caring Husband, Father, and Grandfather and his family meant the world to him. He was one who, no matter the circumstances, would be there when he said he would. John was a lifelong Genealogist and worked for the L.D.S. Church. His love of history, family, and languages coupled with an excellent memory was a great benefit to many searching for their ancestry. John served faithfully and diligently in many positions of responsibility within the L.D.S. Church. His great love and joy was to have been called and set apart as a Sealer in the Salt Lake and Bountiful Temples where he was able to perform ceremonies for over 35 years.
