Following his graduation from law school, they made their home in Clearfield, where John was an owner of Soult Wholesale Co. for more than 60 years.
He had many interests including photography, old cars, woodworking, locksmithing, gardening and collecting and restoring antique toy trains.

Our sincere condolences to the family on the passing of our dear neighbor. Always enjoyed talking to John in the backward about his memories of the house and neighborhood. I'm sure he'll enjoy taking care of Heaven just as he did his business and house. God Bless.
