Everything John did, he did with energy and passion. Among John’s many talents were imagining, designing, creating, and building. He enjoyed music, woodworking, and art. He was determined and passionate in his beliefs, his work, and his efforts to help others in need. He was an avid reader and lifelong learner with a deep interest in philosophy. Daily personal growth and development was a key focus in John’s life. John was at his best when he was a dad to Henry.
