He graduated from Greensboro High School and was educated at NC State University, Guilford College and Guilford Community College.

As a walking computer he easily calculated in his head and remembered telephone numbers for just about anyone he called. He was a long time member of both the Moose Club and the Elks Lodge. He loved traveling in the South and vacationing in the Grand Strand. His sense of humor was keen and his politics conservative.

John was preceded in death by his wife of thirty-one years, Barbara Jessup Stass. He is survived by his sister, Joan Stass Tate and husband Garren; nephew, John G. Tate and wife Lori; stepson, Randy Chandler and wife Carol and grandchildren, Kristin and Nicole Chandler. He will be deeply missed.
