In civilian life, John worked for Dale Yacht Basin reaching the position of Vice President before the operation's four locations were sold in 1958. He then took a position as Chief Residential Appraiser with Ocean Federal Savings and Loan, now OceanFirst Bank. John was very involved with the Point Pleasant Presbyterian Church, serving as a Deacon, Trustee, Elder and on numerous building committees. He served on the board of the Point Pleasant Beach Library for many years where his main mission was maintaining the building and grounds.
In his retirement years, John spent endless hours in his shop on various projects and "straightening up". He was also known for his backyard garden with its 12 foot high tomato plants. He and Betty were constant companions and traveled extensively around the country. John also spent much time studying national and international monetary policies, particularly those of his favorite President, Franklin Roosevelt.
John is survived by his son, John Jr. (Susan) and many family and extended family members. He was the son of the late Watson and Clara Schauffele Van Horn and had survived both of his younger brothers, Joseph and Robert Van Horn.
A private service will be held at a later date.
