John Choby Obituary
John married JoEllen Plichta on May 18, 1974; they were married for 45 years.
John was an incredible and devoted husband, father and Pappy. He loved his family with his entire being. He could forever be found playing with his grandchildren, picking them up from school and teaching them whatever popped into his mind. His greatest joys in life were his two daughters and six grandchildren. John will be lovingly remembered and missed by his wife JoEllen Choby, daughters Jacqueline Griffith and Jennifer Reissig, son-in-law Michael Reissig, and his beloved grandchildren Jonah, Xavier, Ian and Nicolai Griffith and Lauren and Parker Reissig.
