John enjoyed walks around the yard, playing with his grandchildren, and spending time with his wife and children. He built several hot rods and enjoyed car shows with friends. He also liked traveling with his wife and children. Meeting him at the gates of Heaven will be his Brother Jim, Mother, Father, and his dog of 15 years Pup. As they are all dancing in Heaven we are comforted to know that God has received another Angel.
