John "Dave" was born on January 21st, 1937 to the late John S. and Helen Rohrer of Smithfield, Pennsylvania.
He is survived by his beloved Wife of 60 years, Elaine Rohrer, who he spent his years growing a beautiful life and family alongside. Their happiest times together were spent traveling to be with family. He was a loving, devoted father to his daughter Pamela (Neil) French, and his son, David (Linda) Rohrer. Dave was the proud Grandpap to his grandchildren Davis, Shelby, Jonathan, Jordan, Tyler, Nichole, Kelsey, and great grandchildren Morgan, Zachary, Fiona, Ewan, and Gavin. He is also survived by his sister, Dolores; his favorite sister-in-law Debbie (Dave) Walker and cherished nieces Deidre, Sondra, Michelle, and Daphne.
In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his brothers, James and Charles; sister, Gertrude; niece Marsha.
Dave proudly served two years in the U.S. Army, and was honorably discharged with the rank of Specialist. Dave and Elaine started their family in Uniontown, PA laying the foundation for their family to grow. A move to Marlton, New Jersey brought 20 years of happiness and raising their family. Here he held a fruitful career in management with Zurich Insurance. After moving to North Carolina he enjoyed a post-retirement career with Lowe's Home Improvement. North Carolina brought Dave and Elaine many wonderful memories and friends for 15 years before returning back home to Pennsylvania. Most days you could find Dave relaxing in his favorite spot, sitting on the back porch with his dear Wife next to him. Dave was a man who held his religion, his family and his work close to his heart. He was the centerpiece of a beloved family, and always there to lend a helping hand or a joyful tune. The imprint he has left on his family and friends will endure beyond his 85 years.
Burial will be at Mount Moriah Baptist Cemetery, Smithfield, PA.
