John Eugene Bruegger was born on February 12, 1938 in Williston, North Dakota to George and Mary (Pasuchenko) Bruegger. John was baptized October 3, 1948 at Concordia Lutheran Church Williston, North Dakota. He attended and graduated from Williston High School in 1957.
John married the love of his life, Coralie Jore, on July 1, 1959. From that union they had four children, Kim, Jeff, Kris and Jean.
John worked at John’s Enco Station, Eklund Brother’s Lakeside Truck Stop, Matador and Koch Industries. After retirement he enjoyed traveling around the United States with Coralie. If they were not visiting or staying with one of their kids, they were visiting with other relatives and friends. John always enjoyed watching his Vikings and New York Yankee’s play. He always held out hope that his Vikings would one day win a Super Bowl.
John always enjoyed laughing, joking and going places with Leo. They are now enjoying each other and catching up I am sure.
