John attended St. Joseph grade school and graduated from Anaconda Senior High School in 1972. After graduating he was in sales and delivery for quite a few years, working at Roach and Smith, Sheehan Majestic and Schwans.

John enjoyed many hobbies and sports growing up. He started making lifelong friends in kindergarten. He loved time spent reminiscing with Timmy, Danny and Henry, to name a few, laughing about all the funny things they did growing up. He was proud of his athletic accomplishments throughout school. He was an Oakland A's and a Raiders fan, and he loved music.
John had a special place in his heart for dogs and the homeless.
