John was disabled from the railroad due to his health issues in 2009. John was always thankful for the following years of dedicated time to his two sons and family.

John lived for his family and was never short of quick wit. Prior to his major disabilities, he could be found on the golf course or outside playing with his sons. John was never shy to share his faith, honest thoughts and feelings, and proved through his humor and charm that love and laughter is the best medicine. He is remembered for his tremendous mental and physical strength and unwavering love. John will truly be missed by all who were blessed to know him.
