Buyse, L. John Age 85, of Anoka. John entered God's presence on October 13, 2010 at his home in Anoka, MN. He was born in the Belgian Congo on August 13, 1925. His parents, Daphne Thompson Buyse and Leonard Jan Buyse were pioneer missionaries serving with Africa Inland Mission. At the age of 13, he came to the USA for school and graduated from Mankato High School in 1944. In the summer of 1944, he entered the Navy and was stationed in the South Pacific serving on a PT boat. After the Navy, he attended Wheaton College in Illinois where he met Marjorie Ann Look, the daughter of Dr. & Mrs. O.A. Look of Anoka, MN. They were married in 1950 at the First Baptist Church of Anoka. The Lord blessed them with five children, Susan, Jane, Cynthia, John and David. L. John spent the first half of his business career at The Cornelius Company rising to the level of Executive Vice President with responsibilities for North American and European operations. At age 50 he started his own company - McLean Midwest - which became the clear market leader in North America and is one of the top three global companies for cooling electronics. Selling the business and retiring at age 65 opened up new opportunities for John. He completely invested himself in works of service - sitting on the board of directors for six mission organizations, while chairing three of those boards. Some of the organizations he served were Africa Inland Mission (NY), Global Outreach (Canada), Lighthouse for Christ Eye Mission (Kenya), Marie Sandvik Center (Mpls) and Northwestern College (St. Paul). His love and commitment to the Lord and His Kingdom were further demonstrated in his service at the First Baptist Church of Anoka where he was a member for 59 years, directing the choir for 31 of those years. He served on the Board of Trustees chairing two building programs. Besides these mission organizations, he was also a member of both the Anoka School Board and Board of Directors for the Anoka Chamber of Commerce. John was preceded in death by his parents, Leonard & Daphne Buyse and a grandson, Christian John Nitz. He is survived by his wife, Marjorie; 2 brothers, 2 sisters, 5 children, 17 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. John's favorite scripture, Proverbs 3:5,6, describes the life he lived and the example he set for his family: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path." Visitation will be held at Thurston- Lindberg Funeral Home, 2005 Branch Ave., Anoka on Friday, Oct. 29, 2010 from 5-8 PM. The funeral will be held on Saturday, Oct. 30, 2010 at 10 AM at the First Baptist Church, 1235 Park St., Anoka, MN. Interment will take place at Forest Hill Cemetery, Anoka, MN.
