John loved music and classic cars. He always had fun going to car shows/cruises and hanging out with his wife and car buddies. John won many trophies with his 1964 Chevy Impala SS.

Most of all, John loved spending time with his wife and twin daughters and making memories that will last a lifetime. John was a devoted and loving husband and father. He was so strong and such a fighter until the end and will be greatly missed today, tomorrow, always.
