Beyond his work and faith, John had a zest for life's pleasures. He was an avid bodybuilder and took great pride in his weightlifting achievements. His love for sports extended to being a lifelong New York Giants fan, and he even tried out for the team in his younger years. John's adventurous spirit shone through his love for riding his Harley Motorcycle and his enthusiasm for classic cars. His cat, 'Tiger,' and all animals held a special place in his heart, reflecting his kind and loving nature.
