John was born, together with his twin brother George, on Aug. 26, 1927, to Cyril and Denage (Regnier) Buckley in Minneota. Due to the difficult economic situation at that time, the family moved often, and John attended grade school in Minneota, Ghent, and St. Peter. He eventually graduated in 1945 from Mankato High School – where he met his future wife Caroline.
