John married Vanessa on August 22, 1970 and they spent 47 years together going to the beach, riding on John's Harley, playing in their Euchre club for more than 30 years, and even enjoying colts games together. The biggest passion in John's life was his family as all of them meant a great deal to him.
John loved to spend time with his family and friends which gave him the passion and drive he needed to fight his illness. Those around him called him "Superman" as he fought long and hard to gain that title and he showed it by fighting for 10 years.
