JOHN S. DVORACK

John S. Dvorack, 65, passed away Sunday, October 17, 2021, from pancreatic and liver cancer. Born March 19, 1956, to Albert (Al) and Catherine (Lois) Nycz Dvorack, he grew up in the Bowling Green area. A 1974 graduate of St. Francis de Sales High School and three years study at the University of Toledo, his entire working career was in the law enforcement field. He began his employment with the Ohio State Highway Patrol as an equipment technician and served as dispatcher at the former patrol post on Airport Highway and district headquarters in Findlay. He continued his studies and became a police officer and served at the Perrysburg Township Police Department. In retirement, he worked part-time as a police dispatcher with the University of Toledo Police Department and City of Maumee.

John had a passion for radios, and he proudly became a ham radio operator, earning the designation of amateur extra. His call sign was KD8BIN. He enjoyed working outdoors and took immense pride in keeping a well-manicured lawn. His John Deere tractor was his favorite buddy in keeping things in shape.

John is survived by his wife of 34 years, Doris; brother, Dr. Michael (Camille) Dvorack, Albuquerque, New Mexico; brother-in-law, Joe (Christy) Schadenfroh, Nashville, Indiana; a host of special nieces and nephews, and his fur-person, Lucy.
