John loved spending time with his family. He worked as a farmer, mechanic, truck driver and a handyman. After retirement he enjoyed helping at Martha’s Manor and The Helping Hand Rescue Mission. He most enjoyed fixing and working on things to get them running and working again. He truly was a mechanic of all trades. At his request, a private viewing will be held for his family.
