The Son of Philip and Evelyn Dingeldein, John was born on June 4th, 1930 in Rock Island. He married Rosalyn Michel on January 9th, 1954 in Rushville, Illinois.
John was a life long resident of Rock Island and 4th generation to own and operate Dingeldein Gardens. John was always known for having the best sweet corn and tomatoes in the area. Generations of families have grown up on John’s fresh produce, flowers and carving pumpkins from the “Punkin Patch”. He was a great man and will be missed by everyone that knew him.
John served in the US Army from ’52 to ’54, and was very active in politics serving 28 years on the County Board.
John is survived by his wife of 56 years, Rosie, his four children Phillip (Shelly), Michel (Brigitt), Lisa, and Paul; seven grandchildren Justina, Clayton, Drew, Taylor, Caitlin, Brittany and Brady.
The family would like to thank all those involved in his care and support during his final days, it was greatly appreciated.
