John was an amazing man who lived a colorful life and always willing to lend a helping hand to family, friends, or a stranger. He truly believed in giving the shirt off his back to help someone in need. He loved his career as an Electrician and was a proud member of the IBEW Local #1: Even after retirement, he enjoyed working on little projects at every given opportunity. He loved his brothers and sisters, often speaking of moments from his childhood. His children surrounded him with love and enjoyed creating memories; whether playing poker, fishing, or just talking and laughing. He was immensely proud of his children as they were his greatest accomplishments in life. John had always dreamt of doing more for his children by winning Texas Hold'em Tournaments or dreaming of winning the lottery. They were always the forefront of his mind and heart.
