John enjoyed the simpler things in life, such as watching a squirrel in their front window and fishing and hunting in his younger years. He enjoyed helping others. Even though he had many health issues, he and Janet took time to think of others be organizing meals to develop community in the complex where they lived. He also liked coming to help his sister Sophie when he was able to.
John fought a long fight with many health issues and showed strength and courage right to the end.
