John was an avid reader and he loved to keep a diary of all the meaningful events in his life. He was a big history buff, a very talented artist and a long-time Chicago Bears & Chicago Blackhawks fan. He was a very caring, thoughtful and kind person who always put others first. He was very well liked by everyone who was lucky enough to meet him. He loved to tell jokes and always knew how to put a smile on your face. He loved to regale us with his stories knowing we had heard them many times before. He loved his family with all his heart and would do anything for them. He will be missed by his family, friends and co-workers more than he could ever know.
