John proudly served his country in the United States Air Force and was a graduate of Texas Tech University, with a master's degree in Civil Engineering.

Upon his retirement from military service, John worked for York County, Virginia as Director of the Department of Environmental & Developmental Services for over 20 years and was well respected making many life-long friends along the way. His name can be seen on many structures as the project manager throughout Yorktown and the beachfront area.

John was an avid fisherman and enjoyed fishing in Key West with his sons, daughters, and brother and also while vacationing with his family along the Outer Banks.

He also enjoyed fishing with his brother-in-law, Christopher Wyatt of Pennsylvania. They shared many "fish stories" and laughed together.

I worked with John for many years at York County. He spoke fondly of his family and he was very proud of his children. I know he will be missed.

I remember John helping with the Hands on Science program at Dare Elementary when Mary Lu was in fourth and fifth grade. John was helpful, kind, and great with the kids. His enthusiasm was an encouragement to all. I’m so sorry for your loss.
