John was very active in St. Vincent de Paul Society and had a great love for woodworking. Having grown up in Croatia, John never returned because he had a fear of flying. However, that fear was overcome by his love of family, especially his grandchildren, when he was asked to fly to Texas to attend his granddaughter’s graduation from law school.
