The family moved to Philadelphia when Juan was in his early teens and he went on to graduate from Edison High School and also attended Community College of Philadelphia.

He was very generous and was known to take both friends and strangers out to lunch for food and conversation. Juan loved oldies music and choritos, fast cars, endless cups of coffee and meals at Red Lobster. He especially enjoyed time with his children and grandchildren.
