June 8, 1944 - March 19, 2019 John J. Hausler, Jr. of Pearl City passed away peacefully on March 19, 2019 in Honolulu. He was 74. Born in Teaneck, NJ, John was a career US Army soldier, serving in Vietnam, Europe, the Mainland and Hawaii, and retiring in 1983 - with 20 plus years of service as a Sergeant First Class Dining Facility Manager with the 25th Infantry Wolfhounds. A single dad with four children, in May 1981, at a "Parents Without Partners" gathering, John met and married the love of his life, Jennifer "Jenny" Ikeda Shimada, a widow with two children of her own. Together, now with six children under the age of 10, John and Jenny created a "Brady Bunch" - a home filled with challenges to be sure, but also filled with love and laughter. He was so proud of each of them, all their accomplishments and loved them all so much. John and Jenny were co-owners of JJ's Tavern in Waipahu and later JJ's Drain Service. Over the years, John also held positions at Wayne's Carpet, Roto Rooter, Waipahu High School and the O`ahu Airports Division. John was a humble, funny, kind and special man of many interests and talents. He loved cards, darts, bowling, surfing the internet, playing pranks, watching TV and, of course, spending time with his wife, family, and his dog Coco. In addition to his beloved wife of 37 years, is survived by sons John J.
