He was proud of the fact that Kauffman Tire just celebrated their 75th year as a family owned business and that they are a third generation family company. John was passionate about giving back to the community, and was involved in many organizations over the years including the advisory committee of the President’s Club at Ohio State University and the advisory committee of the College of Arts & Sciences at Ohio State University. He was on the advisory board of WINSHIP Cancer Institute, as well as the advisory board of Action Ministries. John also served on the board of Junior Achievement of Atlanta.
