He married Ethel Hasse Perrot on July 20, 1957 in Saginaw, Michigan. John retired as an Electrical Engineer from USBI after working for over 20 years with the space program. John and his wife lived most of their married life in Satellite Beach, FL where he was actively involved with the city council. He was a member of the Azan Shriners Organization in Melbourne, FL. John’s passion, however, was the Satellite Beach Lion’s Club where he was an active member for many years and made many lifelong friendships that he treasured until his passing. He served in nearly all club positions and numerous district level positions. You could find John flipping pancakes at the annual pancake breakfast. He was very dedicated to their vision to prevent avoidable blindness and improve quality of life for people who are blind and visually impaired.
