Nearly 43 years young, John had lived with a wonderful inquisitive nature. This gave him the desire to pursue many things during his life. John had resided most recently in Norwood. John graduated from Harwich High School, Saint Michaels College in Vermont, and University of Lowell. He participated in ROTC in both high school and college. John had been an active researcher for many medical companies. His ability in the technological field was unsurpassed.

He attained his pilots license because he wanted to fly. He was intrigued by fine things. He was an avid wine and coin collector. John traveled extensively both for his profession and for pleasure.
