He was an incredible man who was an example of good, old-fashioned hard work, honesty and courage. He was a protector, provider and problem-solver all in one. He made a big difference in the lives of everyone he encountered. John was a devoted father who instilled a strong work ethic and taught his children to be men of their words. He supported his children by attending their many sporting events. He was affectionately called “Farmer John” and his home was well known as the hangout for their son’s many friends. He always made sure kids had fun and had plenty to eat. He was known for his sense of humor, being a practical joker, indulging children with bull rides on his back, and giving out his famous and painful Indian tortures that children begged for. He was an avid outdoors man teaching children how to hunt, fish, ride motorcycles, water ski and build. He was looked up to and loved by many children.
