John was a man of great faith, who was selfless and devoted to serving others. A very involved member of St. Teresa of Avila Catholic Church, he also enjoyed hunting and fishing in his spare time. John was a natural engineer, who worked as a designer at Textron Specialty Vehicles. He could fix anything, including a great meal! He will be remembered for his goofy sense of humor and for being the most loving and devoted husband, father, and G-Poppy.
