Then entering and graduating from Southern Illiniois University at Carbondale; John later joined the workforce as a Tool and Die Maker. John's life was filled and dedicated to travels and adventure meeting new and interesting people. He loved bringing all people together sharing stories, news, and or the wisdom he had obtained. There was a moment in John's life where he proposed to live off the land God created, in tar paper shacks, raising gardens, bathing in cold mountain creeks. John's life was full of continuous learning. He was a voracious reader, dedicated to the search for truth and always looking to acquire all knowledge. John's life journey took him from Massachusetts to Illiniois to Texas, to New Mexico, to Colorado, as well as many other unique places before he finally made Gillette, WY his final home. His friends include his Pastor Edward and Susan Sisti, the family of Jo and Teri Dismont, the family of Jeff and Cathy Raney, family of Ernie and Rebecca West, family of Christopher Smith and special friend Naomi Melton.

John's life and purpose was sharing his life for Christ and hleping all who found themselves in need. Our Friend knew and understood that our Amerian Experience, that our government directed under the Original Intent is the Greatest and one in the history of the World and that it must be protected and preserved.
