John graduated from Lakewood Local High School and later attended Technical school where he received his associate’s degree in electronics. Following High School, John enlisted in the United States Army where he proudly served his country for two years. In his free time, John loved to ride his bicycle and was a member of the Westerville Bike Club and “the Bad leavers.” In his earlier years, John enjoyed snow skiing, scuba diving, and boating.
Travel was a big part of John’s Life. He loved to travel in his motorhome with his two cats, Bot and Tinker. He travelled to every state with the exception of Alaska. John also travel to Vancouver Canada. He would often tandem travel with his two friends, Ernie and Vicki Prince. In his free time when John was not traveling he loved to collect and work on antique clocks. He was an expert remodeler and carpenter and was multi-talented in many other areas. John had a great sense of humor and will always be remembered for that.
John will be greatly missed by his cousins, Myrna Walters and Doug Iden; special friends, Patricia (William Dovell) Wongsam M.D. and Carol Martin; and several other extended family and close family friends. A visitation will be held on Saturday, July 16, 2022, from 12pm until 2pm at the Schoedinger Worthington Funeral Home, 6699 North High St., Worthington OH, 43085.
