He worked at Watts (Webster Valve) for 38 years. Also, delivered Meal on Wheels to the elderly for more than 10 years. He was a Cub Master for pack 60 in Franklin with over one-hundred boys in the pack, he never turned a boy away and he always said they all need a chance. Then he moved onto be Scout Master of Troop 61 in Franklin. With many boys he was very proud of the fact he had nine boys achieve the rank of Eagle scout while he was scout master one of them being his oldest son. Also, took part in his daughter’s girl scout troop.
He loved his two dogs, Fancy and Hollie, they were his saviors as he would say, camping, Indian motorcycles, he also enjoyed the native American culture. He had many tattoos all with a meaning for either love or spirit of his family, family was very important to him. Spending time with neighbors, he would watch out the window and if the neighbor would light a campfire he would say “John has a fire I’ll be back.” He was always willing to lend a hand.
