John was a graduate of Windfall High School, class of 1962. He retired from Chrysler after working there for 36 years. John started working at 15 years old after his dad passed away; he took on the role of helping to provide for his family, something many young men in his circumstance would not have done. Working from such a young age instilled an amazing work ethic in him. He was very detail oriented and tedious in his work to make certain it was done to his liking.
In John’s free time, he enjoyed being outdoors. He loved to hunt for mushrooms, deer, trap muskrat and other fur animals, tanning their hides. He also loved to go searching for arrowheads. When he found enough, he would make his children beautiful shadowboxes to display them. He would share his love of fishing as well as fly fishing with his family. He enjoyed the task of getting everyone’s poles lined and ready to go. After retirement, he spent a lot of his time making jewelry. He was incredibly artistic; he also enjoyed coloring in books.
John was so kindhearted; he was loved by everyone that knew him. He was a man of few words but when he spoke, you better listen! He will be greatly missed but his legacy of hard work, kind heart, love for the outdoors will live for generations to come.
