Mr. John F. Job, 64, Bismarck, died after a heroic battle with cancer on December 21, 2014. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 pm Sunday, December 28, at Trinity Lutheran Church, Bismarck, with Rev. Steve Sathre officiating. John F. Job was born on June 9, 1950, in Bismarck, the son of Chris and Ida Job. He attended school in Jamestown where he graduated from high school in 1968. He attended college in Washington State before returning to Jamestown to marry his sweetheart on December 27, 1969. He was avid bowler and began the sport at Jamestown's Majestic Lanes in 1974. He loved the game and achieved a perfect score of a 300 in 1986. From 1994 to 2000 he served as North Dakota's State Bowling President and served as Bismarck's local President. He was inducted into the Bismarck-Mandan Bowling Hall of Fame and the North Dakota Bowling Hall of Fame in 2009. He represented the State several times as a National Convention Delegate. He competed in over 100 bowling tournaments, including nineteen national tournaments. He contributed to the development of bowling by working for twelve years as a youth coach-instructor. He remained a ND State Association Director until his health forced him to resign in 2014. A dedicated and hard worker who enjoyed his job, he began his career in the distribution industry shortly after he was married. He worked diligently for a company that was eventually acquired by AMCON, where he continued to achieve success during his forty four years in the industry. He enjoyed fishing, traveling, classic cars, NASCAR, driving his Corvette, and spending time with his grandchildren who were very special to him. After almost forty five years of marriage, he loved his wife dearly and referred to her as an angel. He is survived by his wife, Shirley Perleberg Job, Bismarck; two sons and a daughter, Thomas Job, Bismarck, Charles Job, Fargo, Pamela Nesvig, Bismarck; two sisters and one brother, Betty Patton, Rapid City, SD, Joann Ham, Wahpeton, Earl Job, Lake Stevens, WA; four grandchildren, Brett Job, Alyssa Job, Evan Nesvig and Halena Nesvig all of Bismarck.
