He was born June 19, 1921 in New Era, Michigan to the late William and Marie Jonseck. They moved to Port Huron in 1931 and he has been a resident since that time. He married Eva VanBuskirk on October 30, 1941. They were happily married for over 50 years. She went home to be with the Lord on June 2, 1992.

He was a member of The Salvation Army and Salvation Army Golden Agers. His most precious love was his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and his family. He was a great man of faith, integrity, and generosity who touched the hearts of everyone he met.
