Wisconsin Eagle/10342494

WisconsinEagle -- J&J Exterminating announces with deep sorrow the passing of its founder, Robert 'Bobby' John Sr., who died peacefully at home on June 12, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. He was 89.

In 1959, Bobby John Sr. co-founded J&J Exterminating with his brother Harry in Crowley, Louisiana. They started with nothing more than determination, a single truck, the necessary equipment, and a landline housed in his mother's outdoor "breeze house." From those humble beginnings, he built the company one customer at a time, guided by hard work, integrity, and strong character.

To Bobby John Sr., the business was always more than a livelihood. He treated it as a higher calling  and instilled that conviction in everyone around him.

"To him, this was never just a business—it was a calling," a company representative shared. "He taught us to treat every customer with the same respect that you would show your own grandparents."

That philosophy shaped how the company viewed its work and its community. "He never saw jobs as numbers," the representative continued. "He saw the families behind them gathered around the dinner table—the children with their feet dangling from their chairs, and the futures those opportunities helped create."

Over more than six decades, J&J Exterminating grew from a two-man operation into Louisiana's largest family-owned pest control companies, serving communities throughout Louisiana and East Texas. The business he founded remains family-owned today, with his values carried forward by a new generation of leadership.  Bobby's grandson, Robert Lewis John III, now leads J&J Exterminating.

Bobby John Sr. believed deeply in the people who joined his company, often praying for good people to become part of the J&J family. His commitment to faith, service, and relationships defined both his life and the culture he created.
