John was a true outdoors enthusiast, he loved fishing, camping, cooking, and especially grilling for family and friends. He knew a bit about everything like a walking book of knowledge and always enjoyed sharing it with others. He was always there when someone needed a hand, never hesitating to help others.
A superfan of the Buffalo Bills and New York Yankees, he never missed a game. He had a passion for music, travel, and most of all, time spent with loved ones.
He will be deeply missed and always remembered for his strength, courage, his protective nature and his love for his family and friends.
