In 2005 they moved to Farmington to be close to their daughter. Johannes and Ursula were faithful members of the Jehovah Witness Kingdom Hall of Farmington. An outdoorsman, Johannes enjoyed camping and bird watching. Survivors include his daughter, Monika Koen and her husband, Don of Farmington; grandson, Matthew Smith and granddaughter, Sonja Das and husband, Trilo; three great-granddaughters; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Gerd and Anneliese Kurzhals and a niece and several nephews.
