On January 18, 1975 he married Barb A. Lee in Sioux Falls. Together they raised two children, Sara and Jason.

 

Jon joined the family business, Foulk Brothers Plumbing and Heating in the late 1970s and was still active in the business.

 

In earlier years he played baseball for the Sioux City Saints. He also umpired countless baseball games during this time. His love for the game turned into coaching youth baseball for many years. He played on several slow pitch softball teams. Jon also enjoyed bowling; and for those who knew him he lived to play golf. He was also an avid sports fan: Iowa Hawkeyes, St. Louis Cardinals, St. Louis Blues, Minnesota Vikings and Sioux City Musketeers.
