John’s dedication to the Hamilton Bulldogs began early in his life. With enthusiasm he approached Coach Wright insisting, they needed his help. Coach Wright answered, “you know John I think you’re right”. That was the day John started his long run as Hamilton Bulldog Coaches Assistant.
John worked tirelessly for Hamilton Athletics doing anything that was asked of him. He was a devoted servant to his team and loved those kids with all his heart. In May of 2005 John received the Student Assistant of the Year from Hamilton High School. He especially loved his time riding with Coach D after games, listening to music, talking about finding a girlfriend and solving the world’s problems. He never met a stranger and would talk your ear off to anyone who wanted to visit. John was a devoted member of this community willing to help anytime he was needed. You would often see him at the Hamilton County Youth Fair. He always took pride in giving the Jennifer Hall Memorial Award at the Stock Shows and The Jennifer Hall Scholarship at Graduation. He as most proud to be considered a Hamilton Bulldog!
