Judy’s family Trish, Darin, Jeff, along with their significant others and families as they had a special place in John’s life. John will be deeply missed by Judy Louise, in 2009 they got their second chance at love and shared a beautiful life together traveling and dancing the night away. A true sports fan, John loved a good round of golf, Sunday football, and sharing his passion for hockey with his family. John lived his life by example by encouraging others to be their best self. He will be remembered for his commitment and loyalty to his family and friends. A very special thank you to his Tuesday night guys and our angel Melody at 5B. This photo captures the essence of John.
