John met Fannie Mae and they married in 1991. They traveled and enjoyed life to the fullness, they

were stuck together like two peas in a pod.

John was a hard worker with the biggest heart and smile. He was a very passionate about helping others

in need. He could often be found at the Community Center handing out food when he wasn’t at home.

He opened his home to so many people and helped them in any way he could, giving them food and

even clothes if needed.

John had the most loving and caring heart that anyone could ask for. He was loved by everyone that he

came in contact with. Anyone who knew John knew that he was the most loving father and husband a

family could ask for. He became “Daddy” to everyone.
