He married the love of his life, Betty Killen Murphy, on August 30, 1969, and celebrated 51 years of marriage. Along with the love, laughter, trials and tears, they also shared an unwavering Faith and Strength in the Lord. The Lord blessed John and his beautiful wife with two loving daughters, Katie Suzanne and Molly John, whom he loved with all of his heart. John was dedicated to his family and treated his sons-in-law as his own children. John was a hard-working husband and father. He retired from the Federal Government in Indian Head after 38 years of service. Shortly thereafter, he returned to work part-time as a Contractor in D. C. He enjoyed working and was honored to provide for his family. As well as being a devoted husband and loving father, John was well-loved by his Church family. As an elder of Potomac Heights Baptist Church, the members became his second family; his chosen family. Also known as Mr. John and Uncle John, he was a true servant of the Lord. He was always eager to help anyone, whether it was a time of need, a warm gesture, or an act of kindness; there were no bounds. John loved to garden and kept a beautiful yard. He always loved being outside with his Bible and coffee and enjoyed taking naps outside on bright sunny days. John truly was a man who was thankful for all of God's beautiful creation. John was preceded in death by his late wife, Betty Killen Murphy, his daughter, Katie Suzanne Dorsey, and his sisters Madoline, Jean, Anna, Helen, Lois, and Margaret ("Pixie").
