He was employed for many years with Moody's Blacktopping and Cardinale's Tree Service and was a tree surgeon and concrete mason.
John became an ordained Mennonite pastor and served at the Jesus Church in the 1980s. He was also the pastor of the Northern Riders. His strong faith opened many doors for him to share God's word through officiating countless weddings and funerals. John believed deeply in helping others and giving back to his community.
John will be remembered as an amazing husband, father and grandfather. He dedicated an unmatched amount of time to Addison Cinderella and Addison Little League. He coached, cared for the grounds, and umpired what felt like a million pitches on the Little League field, leaving a lasting impact on generations of Addison young athletes. He also coached for TWAC Wrestling for many years. In recognition of his contributions to wrestling, track, and his unwavering commitment to coaching the youth of Addison, he was inducted into the Addison Sports Hall of Fame in 2012.
