IN LOVING MEMORY OF
John
Mozingo
January 22, 1943 – June 8, 2024
Obituary
John Marshall Mozingo passed away unexpectedly on June 8, 2024, at Aurora Medical Center in Oshkosh. John was born on January 22, 1943, in Winterset, Iowa, to John E. and Esther Mozingo. He graduated from Winterset High School, attended Iowa State University, then entered the U.S. Army where he was stationed in Germany and Vietnam. He returned home to complete both an undergraduate degree in business and an MBA from Arizona State University.
For 32 years, he managed business outreach programs first at UW Stevens Point then at UW Oshkosh. He also taught Intro to Business and Marketing courses at UW Oshkosh.
John married Lynn (Will) Grancorbitz on December 20, 2005, in Las Vegas. They were together for 15 years before "tying the knot."
John was a gifted athlete. He played baseball and basketball in his younger years and was always an avid (and accomplished) bowler and golfer. For the past 10+ years, he drove every summer to Alabama to play the Robert Trent Jones Trail and was looking forward to this year's trip. He also bowled each year in the national bowling tournament and often planned to bowl during the university's spring break so he and Lynn could turn it into a vacation road trip.
John was a really smart guy with a sometimes self-deprecating and punny sense of humor. He and Lynn were best of friends, traveled throughout the world, enjoyed spending time together, and there was never an angry word between them. He loved and appreciated his family and was truly a one-of-a-kind guy.
John's family would like to sincerely thank the staff at Aurora Medical Center for their kind and compassionate care over the past year, especially the staff on 3 West who took care of him during his final days.
John is survived by his wife Lynn, sister Sheryl Christensen of Grimes, Iowa, niece Shelby (Michael) Moersch of Katy, Texas, and nephew Adam (Monica) Christensen of Urbandale, Iowa. He is further survived by great niece Ava, and three great nephews Andon, Cole and Graham. His feline "kids" Ginger and Trixi will miss his gentle rubs and warm lap.
John was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles.
Cremation has taken place and a private family service will be held in Iowa later this summer. Memorials can be made to the USGA or to a pet rescue or local humane society.
