ones. He enjoyed woodworking, working on projects around the house, helping his wife

in the garden, and researching genealogy. He was especially proud of supporting his

four grandchildren in their many school and community activities. John also cherished

spending time with his extended family, the Schlegels, during holidays and annual

events like making apple butter and cookies.
