John Spindel Obituary


John Spindel, 89, of Edinburg, passed away on Monday, February 17, 2020 at Life's Journey in Taylorville.
John was born on September 20, 1930, the son of John and Eleanor (Greenwalt) Spindel. He married Esther Huegel on February 2, 1957 and she survives.
John is a Korean War Veteran and was a member of the Edinburg United Methodist Church. He enjoyed camping, gardening, riding his bike, trains, cave exploring and traveling to Colorado and Texas for vacation. John and Esther were married for 63 years and enjoyed going to gospel concerts at The Barn. They didn't have a lot but they made a lot with what they had, and had a sign in their camper that said "May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live".
