John retired from Naval Support Activity Mechanicsburg where he worked for Defense Logistics Agency for 21 years as a Production Machinery Mechanic and Woodworker (DoD IPE DSCR, RICHMOND VA). He was an avid outdoorsman spending much of his younger years hunting small and big game, and fishing. John enjoyed working with his hands and built many things including his daughters headboard, a toybox for a great-niece, and the walls of his home he loved in with his family. Music was also an important part of John's life. He enjoyed playing the guitar and singing in his bands The Electric Heat and The Fairview Five and even more so just sitting on his couch singing with his wife and daughter and teaching his grandson to play the guitar.
