March
22, 1936 - August 23, 2022
John F. Golder, age 86, of Windermere, FL passed away
peacefully on Tuesday, August 23, 2022 in his home. Beloved Husband, Daddy, Mampies, Popa and
brother was born on March 22, 1936 in Enfield, England. He was the son of the late William John
Golder and Vera Lillian Golder Kucer.
John sailed to America in 1946 as a young boy with his
mother. He graduated from Wintersville
High School in 1954 where he met his high school sweetheart whom he later
married. In 1955, he enlisted in the
United States Air Force. John and
Joretta were married in 1956. He was a
decorated United States Air Force veteran who served our country for more than
20 years in many locations including Vietnam.
His favorite assignment was the United States Air Force Academy in
Colorado Springs, CO. John earned the
rank of Senior Master Sargeant.
John was the ultimate family man. He didn’t hunt, golf or fish, but loved
spending time with his family. John
always said, “Family is everything.” He loved
automobiles, collecting model trains and remote-control vehicles. He enjoyed playing cards and dominoes with
friends. He was a die-hard Florida State Seminole football fan! John was a dog lover and had many cherished
pets through the years. However, his
greatest joys were his wife and family.
John is survived by his loving wife of 66 years, Joretta Six
Golder; his two favorite daughters and sons-in-law, Debbie & Doug Krenzer and
Roni & Chris Smith; his three treasured granddaughters and grandsons-in-law,
Jennifer & Dennis Cavilla, Lauren & Nick Nesta and Kirsten & Zack

Cavilla and Aria and Bella Nesta. He is
also survived by two wonderful siblings and their spouses, Tom & Julie
Kucer and Susan & Bill Ward. He was
preceded in death by his only son, William John Golder.
There will be a celebration of life at St. Lukes United Methodist Church on Friday, August 26th at 2pm. 4851 S. Apopka Vineland Road Orlando, FL 32819.
