Father Neuser was born in Manitowoc on February 22, 1933. He was a graduate of St. Boniface School in 1947, a graduate of Lincoln High School in 1951 and Manitowoc County Normal School in 1953. He began his studies for the priesthood in Jordan Seminary, Menominee, Michigan, which he attended for three years and then continued his education in St. John's Seminary in Collegeville, Minnesota. On June 9, 1962, he was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Green Bay by Bishop Stanislaus V. Bona, Bishop of Green Bay. His first appointment was a temporary appointment to St. Anthony Parish in Oconto Falls, WI. On October 8, 1962, he was appointed as associate pastor of St. Luke Parish, in Two Rivers, where he was also appointed to be chaplain for the Two Rivers Municipal Hospital. On September 8, 1966, Father Neuser was transferred to Sacred Heart Parish in Oshkosh. He later served as an assistant pastor at St. Bernard Parish in Appleton and St. Aloysius Parish in Kaukauna. His first pastorate was at St. Mary Parish in Reedsville on June 23, 1971. In 1974, Father Neuser returned to Appleton as pastor of St. Pius X Parish. Then he returned to Two Rivers to become the pastor of St. Mark Parish from June 16, 1976 to July 1, 1983, when he became pastor of St. Mary Parish in Brillion where he remained until named pastor of Holy Cross Parish in Mishicot as of November 18, 1992. At the age of 70 Father Neuser retired to his home in Manitowoc but became a part-time chaplain to the Felician Senior Living Community and assisted in other parishes in the area.
Father Neuser is survived by three sisters and two brothers-in-law: Marian Keehan, Manitowoc, Roseanne & Thomas Pagels, Charlotte, NC, Suzanne & Thomas Kuffel, Sturgeon Bay; five brothers and four sisters-in-law: Paul & Margaret Neuser, Manitowoc, Dr. Kenneth & Carol Neuser, Green Bay, James Neuser, Manitowoc, Richard & Eileen Neuser, Manitowoc, Randy & Sandy Neuser, Watertown.

The Pfeffer Funeral Home, Manitowoc, is assisting the family with funeral arrangements.
Special thanks to the wonderful nursing staff at St. Mary's Home who took such loving care of Father John. Your kindness will never be forgotten by the family.
"Other than Jesus Christ, what has influenced my own priestly ministry the most is "The Decree on the Ministry and Life of Priests," Chapter 2, "The Function of Priests", which tells me "... it is the first task of priests as co-workers of the bishops to preach the gospel of God to all men". If you were to ask any of the people whom I have served during the past 45 years what my outstanding quality is, I am sure they would immediately respond "excellent homilies". I have spent much time in preparing and presenting the Word of God. Perhaps it is my background from Manitowoc County Normal School that gave me great joy in teaching at all grade levels from pre-school through college. Jesus IS my Master Teacher."
"Brothers and sisters, I must say good-bye. Mend your ways. Encourage one another. Live in harmony and peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you." 1 Corinthians 13.11.
