In life, John was a 45-year member of AA, where he frequently spoke at numerous lead meetings and also shared in many discussion groups across Cuyahoga, Medina, and Summit Counties. He was always willing to share his testimony of sobriety and his faith in God, as well as the strength and hope he found by following the AA principles and traditions. John’s gentle wisdom, serenity, and Christian faith brought great comfort to countless numbers of new members and old-timers. John truly believed in giving back because he was so grateful for his sobriety.

John, along with his wife, Susan, and their two little dogs, loved to travel in their pick-up truck. Together they visited almost every State east of the Mississippi River as well as Quebec and Ontario, Canada. John was also an avid fisherman and butterfly and moth collector, having begun both hobbies as a youngster. John also loved gardening and planted numerous flowers to attract butterflies, moths, and bees.
