Born in Boston, he grew up in So. Boston and has lived in Hanover for the past 51 years. After serving in the Army, he worked as an electrician, keeping his co-workers entertained for many years at the Gear Works in Quincy, Halliday Lithograph in Plympton, and Jordan’s Furniture in Avon.

He was known for his quick wit, sarcasm, ability to build or fix anything. He was also known for his charm and his eyes, which he noted were bluer than the waters of the Minnetonka. John was an avid reader and gifted storyteller who loved any excuse to throw a party.
