John served as an altar server at Our Lady of Sorrows church for 9 years. He also served on the West Wyoming Council. John was an avid sports fan, golfer, story-teller and biker. He had such wit and loved to share jokes.

John looked forward to gatherings with family and friends. That included their Monday night family dinners, North Carolina vacations, weekend afternoons at the lake, nights at the Grotto in Wilkes Barre with his buddies, and lunch-ins with his very dear friends the “West Wyoming Cowboys”.
