In 2015, Dave Monks and Jerod Millirons took a leap of faith and opened Stillwater’s first brewery. What started as a dream became a place where friendships were made, milestones were celebrated, and countless pints were shared. They built more than a brewery. They built a community.

Over the years, they’ve brewed beers that have become staples of Oklahoma craft beer, from Milk Stout and Payne County Imperial IPA to Stilly Wheat, Exit 174, Chocolate Habañero Stout, and so many more.

The only child of Groendyke Transport founder Harold C. Groendyke, John Groendyke is survived by his wife, Virginia, his 4 children, 14 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.

Funeral services are pending and will be released in a formal obituary from Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home in the coming days.

He was a man of many passions. An entrepreneur, collector, avid outdoorsman, and a rancher, he had a saying, “There’s no better fertilizer than a farmer’s footprints.”

John Groendyke’s footprints can be seen all over the United States and beyond.

John Groendyke was born on Aug. 17, 1944, to Harold and Pauline Groendyke. An only child, he grew up in Enid during the early years of his father’s company, witnessing and later assisting in its meteoric rise from upstart to one of the largest tank truck carriers in the nation.

At age 13, John Groendyke left Enid for Lexington, Mo., and Wentworth Military Academy, where he attended sixth grade through junior college. As with most things in his life, John Groendyke completed his schooling with distinction. Upon graduation in 1964, he had earned the rank of Cadet Brigade Commander, the highest possible rank at the time, and one that no longer exists today.

He then set his sights on a bachelor’s degree, enrolling at Oklahoma State University and joining the Sigma Nu fraternity, where he met several lifelong and influential friends. He graduated from OSU in 1966 and went on to earn a juris doctorate from the University of Oklahoma in 1969.

John Groendyke served in the Army from 1969 to 1971, beginning as a First Lieutenant and finishing as a Captain. He served in the transportation corps, but because he had a law degree, spent most of his time with the Judge Advocate General’s Corps in the courthouse.

Even while busy with school and the military, John Groendyke always made time to stay involved with his father’s business, playing a key role in Groendyke Transport’s first load to Mexico in 1964 and receiving the title of Vice President in 1966.

Twenty years later, John Groendyke took over as CEO and chairman of the board for Groendyke Transport in the wake of his father’s death at the age of 78, and he took the company to new heights.

John Groendyke served on the board for National Tank Truck Carriers for decades, and as chairman in 2001, serving as a major benefactor for the entire tank truck industry. When he stepped down as CEO in 2019, Groendyke Transport brought in about $240 million in revenue and finished the year with 1,400 employees, 1,000 trucks and 1,600 trailers servicing 49 states, Canada and Mexico.

His commitment and accomplishments at Groendyke Transport, and in the tank truck industry, would be more than enough to keep most people busy for a lifetime, but not John Groendyke. His passions varied, and some of his most beloved pastimes were playing and working in the great outdoors.

The son of homesteaders, John Groendyke’s father, Harold Groendyke, was born in a sod house on 160 acres of land near Beaver, Okla., in 1908. Because of Harold Groendyke’s upbringing, John Groendyke grew up with a healthy respect and love for the land and wildlife, and that 160 acres is still in the family today thanks to him.

John Groendyke owned and operated several ranches over the years, taking great pride in working the land. He also had an unmatched love of bird hunting. He served as chairman and a member of the board of directors for the Grand National Quail Club and Foundation, continuing the massive annual Grand National Quail Hunt in his hometown. John Groendyke’s greatest honor in the outdoor arena started in 1976, when he began his first term as commissioner of District 8 for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. He earned Commissioner of the Year in 1991 and served six terms as District 8 commissioner. His 44 years of service in the position made him the longest-tenured commissioner in the nation’s history.

Considering John Groendyke’s love of the land and lifetime spent in Enid, it’s no surprise he held the town and the state dear to his heart. He kept Groendyke Transport’s headquarters in Enid even as other businesses uprooted to larger metropolitan areas. He also served on several local and state boards, and donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to groups, nonprofits, religious organizations, and businesses in Enid and throughout Oklahoma.

His donations tallied in the millions of dollars over his lifetime, including national organizations and generous donations to his alma maters Wentworth Military Academy, OSU and OU, among other educational institutions.

Another big recipient of John Groendyke’s generosity coupled with another of his hobbies – his collecting and restoring of classic automobiles. On several occasions, he raised money for the American Diabetes Association by showing his classic cars at their charity events.

Over the years, John Groendyke put together one of the most coveted collections of classic cars in the country, and became a regular participant and winner at some of the most prestigious car shows in Pebble Beach, Amelia Island, Meadowbrook, and San Marino.

John Groendyke’s lifetime contributions are felt and seen throughout many industries, organizations, and people, and they did not go unnoticed during his lifetime. In 2008, he received induction into the Oklahoma State University Spears School of Business Hall of Fame, an honor followed up in 2015 with induction into the Oklahoma State University Hall of Fame. He joined the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 2013 for his many contributions to the state. He is also a member of the Enid Hall of Fame, received a lifetime achievement award from NTTC in 2024, and had his name added to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation’s headquarters and the bell tower at Wentworth Military Academy.

John Groendyke lived a full life, and he will always be remembered by the many people whose lives he impacted.

Turkey Season Excitement

Few outdoor traditions are as exciting as spring turkey season. Early mornings in the field listening for gobblers is a time-honored experience for many Oklahoma hunters. Healthy wildlife habitat plays an important role in sustaining strong turkey populations. Maintaining productive pastureland, food sources, and habitat areas supports both turkeys and other wildlife throughout the year.

Nutrition Matters for Deer Herds

While turkey hunters are focused on the woods and fields this spring, deer are also entering an important period in their annual cycle. After the stress of winter and the rut, deer need steady nutrition to regain body condition. Providing supplemental feed like Double Down Pen & Pasture deer feed can help support digestive health and deliver balanced nutrition during this transition period. Spring is also a great time to establish mineral supplementation sites. Minerals help support antler growth in bucks and overall health for the entire herd.

Getting Your Lawn and Garden Ready

Spring also means it's time to get serious about lawn care and gardening. Whether you're planning a backyard vegetable garden or improving your lawn, early preparation is key. Healthy soil, quality seed, and the right fertilizer program make a big difference in long-term results. At Johnston Seed Company, we offer a wide selection of:

• Lawn seed varieties
• Garden seeds and planting supplies
• Soil amendments and fertilizers
• Wildlife feed and mineral supplements

Our team is always happy to help you find the right products for your property. Spring is a season full of opportunity — and we’re here to help you make the most of it.

Stop by the store and let’s get your season started right.

Supporting Deer as They Transition into Spring

As winter fades and green forage begins to return, deer are recovering from months of physical stress. Bucks are rebuilding body condition after the rut, and does are entering a critical period leading into fawning season. This is an ideal time to continue supplemental feeding programs. Products like Double Down Pen & Pasture deer feed help provide balanced nutrition and digestive support while natural forage continues to improve. Another key component of spring wildlife management is mineral supplementation. Deer begin replenishing nutrients lost during winter, and minerals play an important role in:

• Antler development
• Bone growth
• Reproductive health
• Overall herd vitality

Providing mineral sites near feeding areas or travel corridors can help support herd health throughout the spring and summer months.

Spring Turkey Season Is Just Around the Corner

Spring also brings one of Oklahoma’s most anticipated outdoor traditions — turkey season. As toms begin strutting and gobbling across fields and pastures, many hunters are already scouting and preparing.

Healthy habitat plays a major role in sustaining strong turkey populations. Maintaining productive food plots, pasture areas, and wildlife feeding sites helps create the environment turkeys need to thrive.

Lawn & Garden Season Starts Now

While wildlife is waking up for the season, it’s also the perfect time to begin preparing your lawn and garden. Early spring is ideal for:

• Soil preparation and amendments
• Planting garden seeds
• Fertilizing lawns
• Seeding pasture or forage areas

Our team can help you select the right seed varieties, fertilizers, and soil solutions to help your property thrive throughout the growing season. Whether you're preparing your backyard garden, supporting wildlife on your property, or getting ready for turkey season, Johnston Seed Company has the products and expertise to help.

A Renewed Commitment to Enid’s Next Generation

EYP was formed to attract, retain, and empower young professionals who call Enid home. Through social gatherings and professional development events, the organization provides opportunities for emerging leaders to connect, grow, and make an impact.

EYP’s leadership emphasizes that building the next generation of community leaders requires strong collaboration with local businesses, institutions, and civic influencers. By fostering connections and creating opportunities for professional relationship-building, EYP continues to strengthen the foundation of Enid’s future.

Keston Cook, EYP committee member and Airport Director at Enid Woodring Regional Airport, expressed enthusiasm about the event’s return.

“I am incredibly excited for Enid Young Professionals to be bringing back the 10 Under 40 Awards! This event offers an excellent opportunity to showcase some of the best that our community has to offer while also providing a great space for young professionals in the area to meet and network with a group of their peers. I especially look forward to seeing the next generation of young professionals grow as they form new partnerships and turn fresh ideas into the local initiatives that keep our community growing.”

Cook shared that bringing back the 10 Under 40 Awards is important because Enid has seen remarkable, often behind‑the‑scenes contributions from young professionals in recent years. Reviving the group and the 10 Under 40 Awards creates a platform to spotlight that talent and the meaningful work being done across the community.

He emphasized that recognizing emerging leaders helps reinforce Enid’s commitment to keeping local talent local. Young professionals, he noted, are the driving force behind the community’s progress, bringing fresh ideas, new perspectives, and innovative approaches that shape Enid’s future.

Cook also hopes the event sends a clear message: young leaders are valued. He wants them to feel confident building their careers and roots in Enid, knowing they are an essential part of what makes the community strong and special.

After expanding into the building next door, The Frisco has completed a full remodel, refreshing the look and feel inside while keeping the same spirit that’s made it a familiar meet-up spot for decades. In fact, for a lot of people who’ve moved away, it’s still the first place friends suggest when they’re back in town: “Let’s meet at The Frisco.”

With more than 77 years in business, the Frisco is leveling up by adding more ways to have fun, more options at the bar, and a cleaner, more comfortable environment for everyone.

Smoke-Free, Safer, and Built for a Great Night Out

One of the biggest changes: The Frisco is now non-smoking, creating a fresher atmosphere that’s easier for groups to say yes to — especially if you’re meeting friends before heading somewhere else. The Frisco is Enid’s fun “pre-party” bar and the place people automatically think of when they say, “Let’s go get a beer.”

Cold Beer, Full Liquor, and Margaritas

The Frisco is putting an emphasis on consistency and quality behind the bar. They now have a Bottoms Up beer pour system designed to deliver the perfect pour every time, served at 30 degrees for an extra-cold beer experience.

And it’s not just beer. The Frisco has expanded into full liquor and mixed drinks, including margaritas, giving customers more choices whether they’re there for a cold beer, a cocktail, or a round with friends.

Darts, Pool, Big Screens — and Thursday Is a Big Deal

Looking for something to do while you’re there? The Frisco has added darts and is aiming to become Enid’s premier dart-playing destination. They also have pool tables and big-screen TVs for sporting events, making it a strong pick for game nights and weekend watch parties.

Thursdays are becoming a weekly favorite for a lot of regulars thanks to:

• Free pool on Thursdays
• Crockpot Thursday, when the Frisco serves free food

Patio Space, Specials, and Events

Outside, the Frisco features a fenced-in patio, giving people a relaxed place to hang out when the weather cooperates.

They also keep the calendar active with weekly drink specials, Frisco Fridays, and live music from time to time. One of their signature events is the Annual Chili Cookoff, which continues to draw a crowd and keeps the Frisco tradition alive.

A Classic Enid Meet-Up Spot — With a Fresh Look

The remodel and expansion are making the Frisco feel new again — but the mission is familiar: cold beer, full bar options, fun games, and a comfortable place to gather. Whether you’re meeting friends after work, celebrating a birthday, or coming home to Enid for the weekend, the Frisco is positioning itself as a top choice.

Late winter and extended drought conditions create serious challenges for whitetail deer. Native forage becomes dry and low in nutritional value. Energy reserves are depleted — especially for bucks coming off the rut. Does preparing for spring fawning are under additional physical stress. During these demanding seasons, deer require more than just calories — they need digestive stability and balanced nutrition to maintain body condition.

Double Down Pen & Pasture was specifically developed to meet those needs.

Why Fiber Matters

One of the key differences in this formula is its increased fiber content. Fiber plays a critical role in supporting rumen health — the foundation of a deer’s digestive system. When deer consume low-quality browse or transition between forage types, digestive stress can occur. This feed helps maintain proper gut function while still delivering the energy and nutrients deer demand during stressful times.

Designed for Versatility

Whether you manage:

• Free-range herds in open pasture
• Post-rut recovery feeding
• Supplemental winter or drought feeding

Double Down Pen & Pasture is designed to be fed free choice, allowing deer to regulate their intake naturally while receiving steady nutritional support.

Built for Real-World Conditions

Not every season is easy. Oklahoma weather can swing from dry and dusty to freezing and harsh. Having a feed option that supports both digestive health and nutritional demands gives landowners, ranchers, and wildlife managers confidence in their feeding program.

If you’re serious about maintaining herd health, body condition, and overall performance through tough seasons, Double Down Pen & Pasture is a smart addition to your management strategy.

Stop by and visit our retail store to learn more — our team is happy to answer questions and help you determine the right feeding plan for your property.

Stan Clark and Steve File opened Eskimo Joe's bar in July of 1975 in Stillwater and immediately started selling T-shirts with the company logo. Originally, Eskimo Joe's was only a bar, but when the drinking age was raised from 18 to 21 in 1984, the business became a restaurant as well.
