Born in Miami, AZ on April 30, 1924 he lived a vibrant life, served as a Navy flier in WWII, graduated from the University of Arizona and settled in Sausalito in 1958. Everywhere he went, John regaled friends and family with his magnetic personality. He is survived by his beloved wife Myrl, daughter Kelly, son-in-law Steve and niece Helen.
