In his early teen years, he worked on various farms in the Hamilton area until he was employed by Wayne Hill Nursery as a landscaper, which he dearly loved working outdoors planting and grooming all his life.

Johnny and family, I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing. I remember his quite demeanor and his love for Hank Williams and Roger Miller. Loved the fact that whatever he did , he was good at it. Kept one of the prettiest yards on Millikin St, made furniture on his basement, renovated an old car that he drove to and from work. Amazing. I appreciated the time he let me come along with Johnny to where he would play Champion Men's league fast pitch softball or basketball. I always had a great deal of respect for him. I am sure you and your family and those that knew him more will greatly miss him and I
appreciate having known him and your mom when I was a kid. God Bless John Cole and his family.
