He was the proud father of 11 children and a loving grandfather to 15 grandchildren alongside 4 great grand children, each of whom brought him immense joy and pride. He led by example, teaching the values of responsibility, resilience, loyalty, and compassion. His presence was steady, protective, and deeply loving a pillar to his family they could always rely on.

Beyond his work and family life, John remained deeply connected to his fellow veterans. Through his involvement with the SSG Michael Ollis VFW Post, he generously gave his time and support, always ready to listen, help, and uplift those who had served alongside him. He believed strongly in brotherhood, remembrance, and honoring the sacrifices made by veterans past and present.
