John was a wonderful and loving husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and friend. He was a man of deep faith and prayer who lived and shared the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit with all. He had a great sense of humor and was always cracking jokes. He had a passion for fishing, golf, Elvis, and ice cream. He could build and fix anything. He enjoyed feeding the birds and the deer that would walk up to his patio door. He loved to laugh and make everyone he was with happy. He was a generous and kind man who passed on his values of faith and education to his family.
