The greater DuBois area was served well by John. In addition to teaching, his years of involvement in local government, the DuBois Volunteer Fire Department, the Rumbarger Cemetery Association, and many other non-profits and charities, has made our area a better place to live.

In addition to spending time with his family, John enjoyed going to his childhood home in Lake Chautauqua, New York.

In lieu of flowers, it is the wish that any donations be made to a favorite charity or non-profit organization of the donor's choice. John always felt we should all support the area we care about and live in.
