John loved the outdoors; he enjoyed canoeing, fishing and riding his ATV. He was mechanically inclined and very talented with all things mechanical. He enjoyed working on cars and ATVs.
Jack was a very generous and kind person who was always willing to help out at any time when needed. He loved his family, friends and his dog and enjoyed spending time with them when he could; he had a wonderful sense of humor and could always make you laugh.
