 Dr. John Gouldin

Storm Lake - Dr. John R. Gouldin DPR, age 67, of Storm Lake, died Friday, July 16, 2010 at the Buena Vista Regional Medical Center in Storm Lake.

John Robert Gouldin, son of Robert E. and Ilah H. (Lister) Gouldin, was born at Cedar Rapids IA, June 25, 1943. He was a graduate of Cedar Rapids Washington High School. John began his college education at William Penn College at Oskaloosa, and later graduated from the University of Iowa. He received his medical degree from the Dr. William S. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine. John faithfully served his country in the United States Navy from Sept.25, 1961, to Sept. 24, 1967. 

John married Cheryl A. Malmgren June 7, 1969, in Cedar Rapids, and this couple was blessed with four children: Shawn, Heidi, Holly, and Rachel.  Following their marriage, John and Cheryl resided on the Oakdale campus of the University of Iowa.  While he was obtaining his podiatric degree, they lived in Chicago, Forest Park, and Oak Park IL. He began his professional career at Elkader, where he and his family made their home for 16 years. In January 1995, Dr. Gouldin opened his practice in Storm Lake where he cared for his many patients until the last few weeks. 

John was a man with many varied interests, which included fishing, gourmet cooking, sailing, and skeet shooting. He is lovingly remembered for his jovial sense of humor and also as a man who was always eager to share his wealth of knowledge with others. John generously helped many people in need, both with his time and financial assistance. He possessed a literary talent and wrote many poems.  John was very committed to the communities he lived and worked in and believed in supporting them by doing his shopping and business “at home.”

John’s memory will be loved, honored, and cherished by his family which include his wife Cheryl of Storm Lake; his children: Shawn (Marie) Gouldin of Firth NE; Heidi (Walter) Long of Indianola IA; Holly (Adam) Espenhover of Columbus GA; and Rachel (Jason) Siegel of Ofallon MO; his grandchildren; his two sisters and their husbands: Sybil (Roger) Hunziker of Lake City FL and Rebecca (Richard) Goltermann of Lockport IL.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

Graveside services were held at 10 AM Wednesday, July 21, 2010 at Fairview Cemetery in Winthrop IA. The Fawcett Funeral Home and Cremation services of Winthrop assisted the family with local arrangements.
