John was a spiritual person full of love and compassion. He had a stern personality, but yet always lending a helping hand to anyone who needed it. John adored both of his children and cherished every moment with them. The love that he shared with his wife was like no other. She was everything to him as he was to her. They where the best of friends and did everything together. John was a homebody enjoying every minute of tranquility he could share with his wife. He will be truly missed by all who knew him especially his love and friend forever, his wife Kathy.
