Once in the Upper Valley, John worked at Lebanon Crushed Stone in West Lebanon and later in retirement at BJ's.

He was predeceased by his wife, parents, brothers Richard and Carl, and his favorite son-in-law John Ponte.

My husband Randy Sherman worked with John through Pike for years and I had the fun to know Elaine at Kmart. I never called him John it was always mom and Pops.
They both were incredibly loving people and are truly missed.
Please I would love to know if there is a celebration of life for him if possible.
